CCI Echocardiography Practice ExamQuestions and Answers
Which Aortic leaflet is the superior one in the PSLA - Answer -Right Leaflet
Name the tricuspid leaflets - Answer -Posterior and Anterior
The coronary arteries come off of the.. - Answer -Sinus of Valsalva
Name the vessels coming off the arch and the most proximal or distal. - Answer -
Innominate (proximal), left carotid, and the left subclavian (distal)
What cardiac pathology is associated with bicuspid aortic valves? - Answer -Coarctation
of the Aorta
Where do the most aortic Coarctation occur? - Answer -After the take-off of the left
subclavian artery, or within the aortic isthmus
Where are the pulmonary veins loca? Which ones are seen in this view? - Answer -
Rights and left superior (upper) pulmonary veins
Where is the coronary sinus located? - Answer -Posterior AV groove
To visualize the coronary sinus in the apical 4 chamber view you should tilt the
transducer.. - Answer -Posterior
During which phase do the coronaries fill? - Answer -early diastole
Where is the chiari network located? - Answer -RA
What portion of the pulmonary venous PW Doppler represents atrial systole? - Answer -
A wave
Know frequency for TEE probes versus TTE - Answer -TTE probes are usually higher 5-
7MGz, while TTE probes are 2-7MHz
At what temperature is it unsafe to use a TEE probe? - Answer -40-45C
, Know TEE views by esophageal level (know mid esophageal- ME and transgastric) and
degrees. - Answer -4ch- 0 degrees
2ch- 90 degrees
LAX- 120 degrees
Why is the SA node the primary pacemaker? - Answer -The SA node has the highest
intrinsic rate of any cardiac tissue.
The save of contraction (depolarization) moves from the endocardium to the

What is the absolute refractory state? - Answer -That period when a muscle cell is not
excitable- from phase 1 into phase 3; the 'relative refractory period' is during phase 3

happened to the pt? - Answer -Coanda effect?
