Amyloid and sarcoid are what type of cardiomyopathy?
A. Congestive
B. Infiltrative
C. Hypertrophic
D. Dilated
E. Restrictive - correct answer B. Infiltrative
Yes, amyloid and sarcoid infiltrate the myocardium so it is more accurate to classify these as infiltrative
not restrictive.
This Doppler spectral trace of mitral inflow is typical for which type of cardiomyopathy?
A. Restrictive
B. Dilated
C. Congestive
D. Ischemic
E. Hypertrophic - correct answer A. Restrictive
Yes, the mitral inflow demonstrating a large E-wave and short A-wave is typical of a restrictive
cardiomyopathy.
A common valvular regurgitation found in patients with a dilated (congestive) cardiomyopathy is:
,A. Mitral
B. Pulmonic
C. Aortic
D. Tricuspid - correct answer A. Mitral
Yes, mitral is the most common valvular regurgitation found in patients with dilated (congestive)
cardiomyopathy.
In a patient with IHSS:
A. Systolic anterior motion of the MV will decrease with a Valsalva maneuver
B. Mitral regurgitation is often present
C. The aortic valve will show mid-diastolic closure
D. LV posterior wall to septal ratio is usually greater than 1.3 - correct answer
B. Mitral regurgitation is often present
Yes, systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve often leads to mitral regurgitation.
Which of the following is a common Doppler finding in patients with a restrictive cardiomyopathy?
A. Mitral inflow Doppler not valid
B. Aortic outflow gradient
C. Equal E-to-A ration on mitral inflow
D. E-greater than-A ratio on mitral inflow
E. A-greater than-E ratio on mitral inflow - correct answer D. E-greater than-A
ratio on mitral inflow
Yes, the typical mitral inflow in restrictive patients is a large E and small A-wave pattern.
, Patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) might have which of the following
murmurs?
A. Systolic crescendo-decrescendo that increases with Valsalva
B. Diastolic crescendo-decrescendo that increases with Valsalva
C. Holosystolic murmur that increases with Valsalva
D. Diastolic crescendo-decrescendo that decreases with Valsalva
E. Systolic crescendo-decrescendo that decreases with Valsalva - correct answer
A. Systolic crescendo-decrescendo that increases with Valsalva
Yes, a systolic "diamond shaped" murmur that increases with a Valsalva is classic.
Patients with dilated cardiomyopathy frequently experience multiple symptoms, such as:
A. Dyspnea
B. WPW
C. Increased cardiac output
D. Hypertension - correct answer A. Dyspnea
Yes, patients with dilated cardiomyopathy frequently complain of dyspnea (shortness of breath when
lying flat).
In patients with asymmetric septal hypertrophy (ASH) what is the septal to posterior wall ratio?
A. 1.5:1
B. any ratio greater than 1:1
C. 1.3:1
D. 1:1.5
E. 1:1.3 - correct answer C. 1.3:1
