CCI RCS #1 Study guide for CCI RCS
exam
Tricuspid Atresia - ✅✅
-Absence of tricuspid valve and hypoplastic RV; requires
both ASD and VSD for viability.
ascites - ✅✅-accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity
What effect would inspiration have on the mitral valve velocity? - ✅✅ -With
inspiration, the mitral valve velocity would increase. Peak mitral inflow velocity can
be used to predict mitral regurgitation severity.
During Inspiration, what increases and decreases - ✅✅-RA pressure drops, so
more venous return. More blood to lungs, causes less to return to LA, so stroke
Volume is lower.
Which heart chamber is most Anterior? - ✅✅-right ventricle
Vessels that come off Aortic Arch, in order? - ✅✅-The innominate vessel which is
same as brachiocephalic artery.
The left common carotid artery
The left subclavian artery which is the distal
Which 2 valves are semilunar? - ✅✅-aortic and pulmonary
3 basic kinds of problems with heart valves - ✅✅-1. Atresia
2. Stenosis
3. Regurgitation
aortic aneurysm causes pain where? - ✅✅-Lower back
Also lower with abdominal.
Chest is caused by Thoracic aneurysm
3 types of aortic aneurysms - ✅✅-Thoracic, abdominal, and thoracic-abdominal
LA size is predictor of risk for? - ✅✅-Atrial Fib
,Angiosarcoma usually affect - ✅✅ -Seen usually in RA.
Commonly affect:
Head, face, liver, chest, males, and Heart
Aortic dissection pain usually felt where? - ✅✅-between shoulders on back,
radiating to arms or neck
If child needs cardiac valve replacement, common procedure is? - ✅✅ -Ross
procedure - uses donor valve but has ability to grow with the child. Surgeon takes PV
and uses it to replace faulty valve, then donor valve to replace PV
✅✅
What is it called when Systolic function is fine, but Diastolic function is abnormal? -
-Restrictive Cardiomyopathy - during diastole, the V chamber has trouble filling
When systole ends, normal diameter of LV? - ✅✅-20 - 40 mm. = 2 - 4 cm
Causes for thinking of bladder wall? - ✅✅-Polyps
Chronic infection
Neoplasia
Where would a pericardial cyst be found? - ✅✅ -When the technician is evaluating
an echocardiography, a pericardial cyst would typically be found along the right
costophrenic angle. These cysts are rare, but the best angle to view them might be
the subcostal view. If these cysts become large, they have the potential to compress
some of the adjacent structures and cause such symptoms as chest pain, coughing,
and dyspnea.
From week _____, the embryo is considered a fetus? - ✅✅-NINE = 9
A __________ stroke, is a broken blood vessel of the brain. - ✅✅-Ischemic. - NOT
hemorrhagic
With the characteristics of digital memories, regarding the highest number stored, if
✅✅
the decimal is 63, which of the following would be considered correct for the binary?
- -Regarding the highest number stored, if the decimal is 63 the binary would
be: 111111.Find this by dividing 63 by 2 and recording the remainder.
63/2 is 31 with a remainder of 1
31/2 is 15 with a remainder of 1
15/2 is 7 with a remainder of 1
, 7/2 is 3 with a remainder of 1
3/2 is 1 with a remainder of 1
2/1 is 0 with a remainder of 1
Therefore 63 in binary is 111111
✅✅
Which of the following terms can also be used interchangeably with transverse
wave? - -The terms SHEER WAVE and TRANSVERSE wave can be used
interchangeably. If there is a sound wave in which the particle motion is
perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, it would be considered a transverse
wave (sheer wave).
Which of the following could be used to help prevent issues when advancing the
✅✅
guide wireless bidirectionnally steerable catheter into the heart? Chest-x-rays
Fluoroscopy Cardiac catheterization Using a short sheath - -Fluoroscopy
When this guide wireless bidirectionally steerable catheter is being inserted into the
heart, a fluoroscopy can be used to help prevent issues. Another practical tip for
preventing issues could be using a long-access sheath to help avoid injuring the
pelvic veins during navigation.
The Windkessel effect would result in which of the following occurring? 1 Continued
flow in the forward direction
2 Intermittent flow in the forward direction
✅✅
3 No flow in the forward direction
4 A temporary forward flow followed by a backward flow - -Continued flow in
the forward direction
The Windkessel effect would result in the continued flow in the forward direction.
The closure of the aortic valve prevents the backward flow of blood into the heart.
Which of the following would be considered a function of the signal processor?
✅✅
1 Digitization 2 Time gain compensation 3 Amplitude detection
4 Echoes versus pulsation - -Amplitude detection
There are 3 functions of the signal processor:
Bandpass filtering, Amplitude detection, Compression
In order to increase the number of foci, which of the following would the PRF need to
✅✅
do?
1. Decrease 2. Remain the same 3. Increase 4. Double - -Increase
In order to increase the number of foci, the PRF needs to increase. PRF stands for
pulse repetition frequency.
The vector array would be considered the combination of which of the following?
1. Crystal array operations
2 Phased array operations
