CCI Echocardiography Practice,
Questions and answers, 100% Accurate.
Rated A+.
Which Aortic leaflet is the superior one in the PSLA - ✔✔Right Leaflet
Name the tricuspid leaflets - ✔✔Posterior and Anterior
The coronary arteries come off of the.. - ✔✔Sinus of Valsalva
Name the vessels coming off the arch and the most proximal or distal. - ✔✔Innominate (proximal), left
carotid, and the left subclavian (distal)
What cardiac pathology is associated with bicuspid aortic valves? - ✔✔Coarctation of the Aorta
Where do the most aortic Coarctation occur? - ✔✔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? - ✔✔Rights and left superior
(upper) pulmonary veins
Where is the coronary sinus located? - ✔✔Posterior AV groove
To visualize the coronary sinus in the apical 4 chamber view you should tilt the transducer.. -
✔✔Posterior
During which phase do the coronaries fill? - ✔✔early diastole
, Where is the chiari network located? - ✔✔RA
What portion of the pulmonary venous PW Doppler represents atrial systole? - ✔✔A wave
Know frequency for TEE probes versus TTE - ✔✔TTE probes are usually higher 5-7MGz, while TTE probes
are 2-7MHz
At what temperature is it unsafe to use a TEE probe? - ✔✔40-45C
Know TEE views by esophageal level (know mid esophageal- ME and transgastric) and degrees. -
✔✔4ch- 0 degrees
2ch- 90 degrees
LAX- 120 degrees
Why is the SA node the primary pacemaker? - ✔✔The SA node has the highest intrinsic rate of any
cardiac tissue.
The save of contraction (depolarization) moves from the endocardium to the epicardium. - ✔✔Inside to
outside. Look at the purkinje fibers above.
What is the absolute refractory state? - ✔✔That period when a muscle cell is not excitable- from phase
1 into phase 3; the 'relative refractory period' is during phase 3 and the muscle cell might contract if the
stimulus is strong.
Know what P wave, P-R interval, T wave represents - ✔✔P wave- atrial systole
P-R interval- includes P-R segment (from atrial to ventricular depolarization)
What is the normal duration for the QRS complex? - ✔✔0.10 sec
