2022 CCI REVIEW HINTS| 324 QUESTIONS| WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Which valve separates the areas of greatest pressure differences? Correct Answer: Mitral Valve

Know where the epicardial fat pad is at. Correct Answer: The white area above the mitral and
pulmonic area

Which aortic leaflet is the superior one in the parasternal long axis view? Correct Answer: Right
leaflet (the posterior leaflet is the noncoronary)

From the left parasternal window which of the following are you most likely to get accurate
velocity measurements? Correct Answer: Pulmonary artery

Name the tricuspid leaflets Correct Answer: posterior and anterior and septal or medial

Which view is the only standard view that you can see the posterior TV leaflet. Correct Answer:
RVIT

In the parasternal short axis view (PSAX), which tricuspid leaflets are seen Correct Answer:
Anterior and medial or septal

Where is the LAA on TTE? Correct Answer: Sometimes in the parasternal SAX Ao Valve level
(better seen in the apical 2ch)

The coronary arteries come off the? Correct Answer: Sinuses of Valsalva

During which phase do the coronaries fill? Correct Answer: Early diastole

What is the structure under the arch? Correct Answer: right pulmonary artery

Name the vessels coming off the arch and most proximal or distal. Correct Answer: Innominate,
left carotid and left subclavian

What cardiac pathology is associated with bicuspid aortic valve? Correct Answer: Coarctation
of the aorta

Where do most aortic coarctations occur? Correct Answer: After the take-off of the left
subclavian artery, or within the aortic isthmus.

Where are the pulmonary veins located? Which ones are seen in this view. Correct Answer:
right and left superior (upper) pulmonary veins.

Which other view would give you the same information as the parasternal LAX? Correct
Answer: apical LAX (long-axis or 3ch)

,Which standard 2D TTE view typically allows viewing of the LAA? Correct Answer: apical 2
chamber

Where is the coronary sinus located? Correct Answer: posterior AV groove (under MV above
DTA)

To visualize the coronary sinus in the apical 4 chamber view you should tilt the transducer:
Correct Answer: Posterior

Where is the chiari network (system) located? Correct Answer: right atrium

What portion of the pulmonary venous PW Doppler represents atrial systole? Correct Answer: a
wave

What frequency are usually used for TTE and TEE? Correct Answer: TTE: 2-7 MHz
TEE: 5-7MHz

At what temperature is it unsafe to use a TEE probe? Correct Answer: 40-50C or the highest
temperature out of the multiple choices

What are the degrees for TEE positions?
4ch:
Mitral Comm:
2cha:
LAX:
AoV SAX: Correct Answer: 4ch: 0 degrees
Mitral Comm: 180 degrees
2ch: 90 degrees
LAX: 120 degrees
AoV SAX: 70 degrees

Why is the SA node the primary pacemaker? Correct Answer: The SA node has the highest
intrinsic rate of any cardiac tissue
SA node= 60-70/minute
AV node=50/minute
myocardium=30/minute

The wave of contraction (depolarization) moves from the endocardium to the epicardium.
Correct Answer: Inside to outside
Look at the purkinje fibers.

What is absolute refractory state? Correct Answer: That period when a muscle cell is not
excitable- from phase I until into phase 3 the "relative refractory period" is during phase 3 and
the muscle cell might contract if the stimulus is strong.

, What does the P wave represent? Correct Answer: Atrial systole

What does the P-R interval represent? Correct Answer: -Includes P-R segment (from atrial to
ventricular depolarization)

What does the QRS complex represent? Correct Answer: ventricular systole (depolarization)

What does the T wave represent? Correct Answer: Ventricular diastole (repolarization)

What is a normal duration for the QRS complex? Correct Answer: 0.10 sec.

On a EKG pattern:
1 small box=
1 big box=
5 big boxes= Correct Answer: 0.4 sec
0.2 sec
1 sec

Frank Starling Law- (Length-Tension Relationship)
-Increased volume (preload)=
-Increased myocardial fiber length= Correct Answer: -Increased contractility
-Increased tension

Acute AI is _____ because we shift up the Starling curve. Correct Answer: hyper-contractile bc
thats the response to the volume overload.

Chronic AI is _____ when we drop off the end. Correct Answer: failure

Does a PDA increase LV preload? Correct Answer: Yes-when the shunt is L-R

What happens during preload? Correct Answer: Dilatation

What happens during after load? Correct Answer: hypertrophy

Which study does not allow for the calculation of ejection fraction? Correct Answer: Chest x-
ray

Calculate CO: Correct Answer: CO=HR x SV
normal is 4-8 L/min depending on BSA

What is the normal EF: Correct Answer: >55%
SV/EDV x 100

What is the Bernoulli equation? Correct Answer: 4V^2

With a velocity of 0.5m/sec what is the gradient? Correct Answer: 1mmHg
