CCI ECHO ELITE REVIEW FULLY SOLVED
EDITION COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW GUIDE
WITH SCENARIOS AND ANSWERS 2026
◉patient with IHSS has resting outflow velocity of 5 m/sec. What is
peak PG? . Answer: P=4v^2 4(5)^2 = 100 mmHg
◉Echo term for Systolic, high velocity, late peaking jet in LVOTO by
CW doppler from apex . Answer: dagger shaped wavefor
◉pulsus alternans . Answer: clinical sign of LV failure
◉to aid in looking for thrombi in LV apex due to dilated
cardiomyopathy, what should you do? . Answer: switch to higher
frequency transducer
◉patient with LVH, bright myocardium, PE, suspect? . Answer:
Restrictive/Infiltrative Cardiomyopathy
◉what are some effects of restrictive/infiltrative CMO? . Answer: stiff,
rigid ventricular walls, results in bi-atrial enlargement
, ◉what are other terms for dilated CMO? . Answer: congestive,
constrictive (surrounds whole heart)
◉what is the ratio when ASH is present? . Answer: 1.3 : 1 (IVS :
LVPW)
◉IVS = 1.8, LVPW = 1.1, is ASH present? . Answer: yes, 1.8/1.1 = 1.6
so ratio is 1.6:1.
◉what CMO is IHSS associated with? . Answer: IHSS, HOCM, HCM
(ASH)
◉what does IHSS stand for? . Answer: Idiopathic Hypertrophic
Subaortic Stenosis
◉What is often present with IHSS? . Answer: MR, SAM leads to MR
◉What is amyloid, and what cardiac abnormality is it associated with? .
Answer: Amyloid = extra cellular deposits of amyloid protein
Infiltrative (infiltrates myocardium)
◉what is sarcoidosis is and what cardiac abnormality is it associated
with? . Answer: sarcoid= abnormal inflammatory masses (granulomas)
