In patients with suspected pulmonary hypertension the right ventricular systolic pressure may
be predicted:
A. with pulsed Doppler interrogation of the left pulmonary artery
B. by accurate measurement of end systolic and end diastolic anterior right ventricular wall
thickness
C. with continuous wave Doppler detection of tricuspid valve insufficiency
D. when the pulmonary artery pressure is low by precise correlation of pulmonary valve closure
times
C. with continuous wave Doppler detection of tricuspid valve insufficiency.
continuous wave Doppler estimation of tricuspid regurgitation gradient added to the right atrial
pressure predicts right ventricular systolic pressure.
Peripheral (saline) contrast normally appears in which cardiac chamber first?
A. right ventricle
B. left ventricle
C. right atrium
D. left atrium
C. right atrium
peripheral (saline) contrast normally appears in the right atrium first.
In patients with large ventricular septal defects and left to right shunting which chamber or
vessel is least likely to be dilated?
A. right atrium
B. left atrium
C. left ventricle
D. pulmonary arteries
,A. right atrium
in patients with large ventricular septal defects and left to right shunting the right atrium will
usually not dilate unless there is significant tricuspid regurgitation.
A common etiology for pulmonary hypertension is:
A. pulmonic stenosis
B. idiopathic
C. mitral regurgitation
D. mitral stenosis
B. idiopathic
a common etiology for pulmonary hypertension is idiopathic.
The remnant of the fetal ductus arteriosus is called the:
A. ligamentum venosum
B. fossa ovalis
C. patent ductus arteriosus
D. ligamentum arteriosum
D. ligamentum arteriosum
the remnant of the ductus arteriosus is the ligamentum arteriosum.
The most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease is:
A. pulmonary stenosis
B. tetralogy of Fallot
C. coarctation of the aorta
D. atrial septal defects
B. tetralogy of Fallot
tetralogy of Fallot is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease.
When the anatomic ventricles are switched and there are no other defects the patient is said to
have:
A. L-transposition
, B. double-outlet right ventricle
C. simple transposition
D. D-transposition
A. L-transposition
L-transposition or ventricular inversion occurs when the anatomic ventricles are switched.
A supracristal ventricular septal defect (VSD) is also referred to as a:
A. muscular
B. outlet
C. subvalvular
D. inlet
B. outlet
supracristal ventricular septal defects (VSD) are also referred to as an outlet.
If the IVC is dilated but collapses 50% when the patient sniffs the RA pressure is estimated to be:
A. 10 mmHg
B. 8 mmHg
C. 20 mmHg
D. 5 mmHg
B. 8 mmHg
when the IVC is dilated but collapses 50% the RA pressure is estimated at 8 mmHg.
If a large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is not corrected what might develop?
A. pulmonary edema
B. pulmonary hypertension
C. Eisenmenger syndrome
D. pericardial effusion
C. Eisenmenger syndrome
patients with a large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) which is not corrected might develop
Eisenmenger syndrome.
