NEW ACTUAL EXAM WITH ANSWERS.
which of the following does NOT lead to decreased myocardial
contractility
A. marantic endocarditis
B. viral myocarditis
C. DCM
D. CAD -correct answer -marantic endocarditis does NOT lead to
decreased contractility. Marantic endocarditis - non bacterial
endocarditis causes valvular disease that rarely leads to
decreased myocardial contraction
Pts with constrictive pericarditis and tamponade will have -correct
answer -reduced CO
dilated IVC
abnormal diastolic function
which is the best view to differ. between plural and pericardial
effusion -correct answer -PLAX
, Page | 2
Dresslers syndrome = -correct answer -Pericardial Effusion after
MI
T/F a decrease in LV systolic cavity size is a normal response to
stress -correct answer -true
Is LA thrombus common in pts with MS -correct answer -Yes
especially in the appendage
What does myocardial infarction mean -correct answer -actual
tissue death.
IVC is dilated by collapes 50% what is the RAP -correct answer -
15 mmHg
Most common ASD -correct answer -secundum
, Page | 3
sinus venosus ASDs are located near the junctioon of the
superior vena cava and the _____ -correct answer -RA
supracristal ventricular septal defect ( VSD is also referred to as
______ -correct answer -outlet
a TR of 64 mmHg is severe PHTN -correct answer -True it is
severe. The RV pressure would be at least 74 mmHg
Pt with PDA has what type of murmur -correct answer -continous
the communication between the aorta and the pul. artery that may
persist after birth is called what -correct answer -PDA
a common etilogy for PHTN is what -correct answer -idopathic
other etiologies for PHTN include -correct answer -~MS
~ MR
, Page | 4
~ Pul. embolism
In pts with suspected PHTN the RVSP maybe predicted by -
correct answer -CW Doppler extimation of the TR gradient added
to the RAP
TR + RAP= RVSP
T/F documenting there is no PS is the final step in predicting PA
pressure -correct answer -TRUE
after a baby is born what causes the foramen ovale to close -
correct answer -increased LA pressure from an increased pulm
flow
IVC is dilated and there is no collapse what is the RAP -correct
answer -20mmHg
pressure overload of the RV may produce what -correct answer -
RVH
Flattened IVS
