FAMILY MEDICINE EOR EXAM ACTUAL EXAMWhat are the 3 local vasodilators in the heart? - ANSWER: Nitric oxide, adenosine,
and oxygen
Vagal maneuvers _______ heart rate in tachyarrhythmias - ANSWER: decrease
During inspiration, left sided stroke volume __________ - ANSWER: decreases
Physiologic splitting of S2 - ANSWER: inspiration separates S2 into A2 followed by
P2; during inspiration, the decreased L-sided venous return results in an earlier A2
and increased right-sided flow with inspiration results in later P2

heard at end __________ - ANSWER: expiration; inspiration

tension pneumothorax

Primary noninvasive test for assessing cardiac anatomy and function - ANSWER:
Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE)
Bruce protocol - ANSWER: Positive exercise stress test if ST depressions, exercise-
induced HTN or hypotension, arrhythmias, symptoms or HR abnormalities occur
during testing
Vasodilators used in pharmacologic stress testing - ANSWER: Adenosine or
