CARDIOLOGY
Review key cardiology concepts with this comprehensive test designed
for students and healthcare professionals. Covers topics such as ECG
interpretation, cardiac pharmacology, and common cardiovascular
conditions. Great for exam prep or clinical knowledge refresh.

C. inverted P waves before QRS
D. a ventricular rate of 40 - 60 ...... ANSWER ...... D.
A ventricular rate of 40 - 60
The administration of dopamine or any other vasopressor
drug requires:
A. online medical control approval
B. careful titration and blood pressure monitoring
, C. an electromechanical infusion pump
D. concomitant crystalloid fluid boluses ...... ANSWER
...... B. Careful titration and monitoring

To increase myocardial contractility and heart rate and to
relax the bronchial smooth muscle, you must give a drug
that:
A. stimulates beta-1 and beta-2 receptors.
B. stimulates beta-2 and alpha receptors.
C. blocks beta-1 and beta-2 receptors.
D. blocks beta receptors and stimulates alpha receptors.
...... ANSWER ...... A. Stimulates beta-1 and beta-2
receptors
Which layer of the blood vessel is made up of elastic fibers
and muscle, and provides for strength and contractility?
a. Tunica media
b. Tunica intima
c. Tunica adventitia
d. Arterial lumen ...... ANSWER ...... a. Tunica media
, Infarctions of the inferior myocardial wall are MOST often
caused by:
Page | 3
a. blockage of the left coronary artery.
b. acute spasm of the circumflex artery.
c. occlusion of the right coronary artery.
d. a blocked left anterior descending artery. ......
ANSWER ...... c. occlusion of the right coronary artery.
You have applied the defibrillator pads to a pulseless and
apneic 60-year-old woman and observe a slow, wide QRS
complex rhythm. Your next action should be to:
a. attempt cardiac pacing.
b. check the carotid pulse.
c. assess breathing effort.
d. immediately begin CPR. ...... ANSWER ...... d.
immediately begin CPR.
Injury to the inferior wall of the myocardium would present
with:
a. T wave inversion in leads V1 through V4.
, b. ST segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF.
c. pathologic Q waves in leads V4 and V5.
Page | 4 d. ST segment depression in leads V5, V6, and aVL. ......
ANSWER ...... b. ST segment elevation in leads II, III,
and aVF.
In contrast to coarse ventricular fibrillation, fine ventricular
fibrillation indicates that:
a. energy reserves of the cardiac cells have been expended.
b. the arrhythmia is more likely to respond to defibrillation.
c. a perfusing rhythm is not possible following defibrillation.
d. the cardiac cells temporarily have adequate energy stores.
...... ANSWER ...... a. energy reserves of the cardiac cells
have been expended.
Q waves are considered abnormal or pathologic if they are:
a. greater than 0.02 seconds wide and consistently precede
the R wave.
