b. stent placement

c. heart transplant

d. pericardectomy - CORRECT ANSWER-d

When recording flow velocity on the LVOT, the:

a. PW Doppler cursor should be placed distal to the aortic valve closure

b. CW doppler should be placed parallel to the aortic valve closure

c. CW doppler should be placed perpendicular to the aortic valve closure

d. PW Doppler cursor should be placed proximal to the aortic valve closure - CORRECT ANSWER-d

The ultrasound system relies on the ____________________ for accurate recording of motion clips on
an echo

a. R wave and T wave on the EKG

b. system timer to be set at 5 seconds

c. QRS on the EKG

d. system timer to be set at 3 seconds - CORRECT ANSWER-a

Which of the following describes how to differentiate a ruptured chordae attached to a flail anterior
mitral leaflet from a vegetation attached to the anterior mitral leaflet?

a. Flail leaflets usually cause regurgitation and vegetations normally cause stenosis.

b. Mitral vegetations normally form on the atrial side of the valve and the ruptured chordae related to a
flail leaflet will be identified on the ventricular side of the valve.

c. Vegetations are much more hypoechoic than the chordae tendinae.

d. A flail mitral leaflet demonstrates a distinct appearance on m-mode that is easily differentiated from
the m-mode appearance of vegetation on the valve. - CORRECT ANSWER-b

,Propranolol can be used to treat

A: patent ductus arteriosus

B: subaortic stenosis caused by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

C: vegetation formation on the tricuspid valve

D: carcinoid disease - CORRECT ANSWER-b

8. Which type of valvular regurgitation usually

demonstrates the highest pressure gradient?

A: Pulmonary insufficiency

B: Aortic insufficiency

C: Tricuspid regurgitation

D: Mitral regurgitation - CORRECT ANSWER-d

____________________ is defined as an abnormal

connection of the left subclavian vein to the

coronary sinus.

A: DiGeorge syndrome

B: persistent left SVC

C: persistent right SVC

D: Ebstein malformation - CORRECT ANSWER-b

You identify thickened, tethered mitral leaflets,

decreased E-F slope on PW Doppler, and right

ventricular hypertrophy on an echo. These are all

signs of

A: mitral valve prolapse

B: mitral stenosis

C: endocarditis

,D: pulmonary HTN - CORRECT ANSWER-b

11. Which of the following echocardiographic findings

is least likely to be associated with Ehlers-Danlos

syndrome?

A: MVP

B: ASD

C: sinus of Valsalva aneurysm

D: peripheral pulmonary stenosis - CORRECT ANSWER-d

While obtaining a PW Doppler tracing of the mitral

valve, you notice the E peak is moderately taller

than the A peak on the waveform and it has a

shorter than normal deceleration time. Which of

the following will cause this finding?

A: grade 1 diastolic dysfunction

B: restrictive cardiomyopathy

C: pulmonary HTN

D: mitral stenosis - CORRECT ANSWER-b

Which of the following right ventricular wall

segments is seen on the apical 4 chamber view?

A: Inferior

B: Lateral

C: Medial

D: Anterior - CORRECT ANSWER-b

How do you measure the strain rate for a specific

segment of the left ventricular wall?

, A: Measure the wall thickness in systole and diastole

B: use m-mode to demonstrate the velocity of the segment of interest and the adjacent normal
segments

C: Take 2-3 tissue Doppler samples from the area of interest

D: Take 2-3 PW Doppler samples from the area of interest - CORRECT ANSWER-c

If there is a weak signal and significant fluctuation

in the vertical position of the EKG tracing across the

screen:

A: the skin contact with the electrodes is poor

B: the EKG should be increased to a maximum level

C: the alcohol used to clean the skin is causing artifact

D: a cell phone or other nearby electrical device is causing interference - CORRECT ANSWER-a

A patient currently undergoing chemotherapy for

breast cancer is referred for an echo. A small mass

is noted within the right ventricular wall and a mild

pericardial effusion. There is debris and fibrous

strands throughout the effusion. The mass is in the

A: primary cardiac malignancy

B: rhabdomyoma

C: secondary cardiac malignancy

D: myxoma - CORRECT ANSWER-c

A: parasternal views

B: subcostal views

C: apical views
