A. Exercise stress test. [100% CORRECT]
B. Coronary angiography
C. Cardiac CT angiography
D. Resting echocardiogram
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Correct: Exercise stress test is the initial test of choice for stable angina, as it assesses for inducible
ischemia . Incorrect B: Invasive and reserved for high-risk or positive stress test. Incorrect C: Not first-line for
stable angina. Incorrect D: Resting echo may show wall motion abnormalities but not ischemia.
Q2: A 72-year-old female presents with sudden onset of severe, tearing chest pain radiating to the back. Blood
pressure is 180/100 in the right arm and 130/80 in the left arm. Chest X-ray shows widened mediastinum.
What is the most appropriate next step?
A. Administer aspirin and monitor
B. Obtain CT angiography of the chest. [100% CORRECT]
C. Perform echocardiogram
D. Administer thrombolytics
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct: CT angiography is the gold standard for diagnosing aortic dissection . Incorrect A: Aspirin
is for ACS, not dissection. Incorrect C: Echo may show dissection but CT is definitive. Incorrect D:
Thrombolytics are contraindicated in dissection.

Q3: A 65-year-old male with history of hypertension presents with dyspnea on exertion and fatigue. Physical
exam reveals jugular venous distention, crackles at lung bases, and 2+ pitting edema in lower extremities.
Which medication is most appropriate to initiate?
A. Metoprolol
B. Furosemide. [100% CORRECT]
C. Lisinopril
D. Spironolactone
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct: Furosemide is first-line for acute decompensated heart failure with volume overload .
Incorrect A: Beta-blockers are for chronic HF management. Incorrect C: ACE inhibitors are for chronic HF
but not acute diuresis. Incorrect D: Spironolactone is adjunctive.
Q4: A 45-year-old female presents with palpitations and lightheadedness. ECG shows irregularly irregular
rhythm without distinct P waves. What is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Atrial flutter
B. Atrial fibrillation. [100% CORRECT]
C. Supraventricular tachycardia
D. Ventricular tachycardia
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct: Atrial fibrillation presents with irregularly irregular rhythm and no discernible P waves .
Incorrect A: Atrial flutter has sawtooth waves. Incorrect C: SVT has regular rhythm. Incorrect D: VT has wide
QRS.

Q5: A patient is prescribed warfarin for atrial fibrillation. Which laboratory value should be monitored to
assess therapeutic effect?
A. aPTT
B. INR. [100% CORRECT]
C. PT
D. Platelet count
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct: INR is used to monitor warfarin therapy, target 2.0-3.0 for atrial fibrillation . Incorrect A:
aPTT monitors heparin. Incorrect C: PT is used but INR standardizes results. Incorrect D: Platelets monitor
for HIT.
Q6: A 60-year-old male with history of diabetes presents with pain in the left calf when walking. The pain
resolves with rest. On exam, pedal pulses are diminished. What is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Deep vein thrombosis
B. Peripheral arterial disease. [100% CORRECT]
C. Chronic venous insufficiency
D. Lumbar radiculopathy
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct: Intermittent claudication with diminished pulses suggests peripheral arterial disease .
Incorrect A: DVT presents with swelling, warmth. Incorrect C: Venous insufficiency presents with edema,
skin changes. Incorrect D: Radiculopathy has dermatomal distribution.
