100 Original Practice Questions | 2026/2027 Edition
1. A primary-care scenario involves atherosclerotic plaque affecting coronary arteries. Which CAD/lipid
concept best fits?
A) LDL-C
B) ASCVD
C) High-intensity statin
D) Inclisiran
Correct Answer: B) ASCVD
Rationale: ASCVD best matches the scenario. ASCVD includes coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial disease
caused by atherosclerosis.
2. Which statement is most accurate regarding ASCVD?
A) The opposite relationship is expected in routine practice
B) This concept is unrelated to ASCVD risk
C) It applies only to pediatric patients
D) ASCVD includes coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial disease caused by atherosclerosis
Correct Answer: D) ASCVD includes coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial disease caused by
atherosclerosis
Rationale: ASCVD includes coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial disease caused by atherosclerosis
3. Which management approach is most appropriate for ASCVD?
A) Ignore overall cardiovascular risk
B) Delay management until symptoms occur
C) Address all major modifiable risk factors, not cholesterol alone
D) Use a single laboratory value without clinical context
Correct Answer: C) Address all major modifiable risk factors, not cholesterol alone
Rationale: Address all major modifiable risk factors, not cholesterol alone
4. Which clinical consequence or safety issue is most important to recognize in ASCVD?
A) No meaningful clinical consequence is associated with this topic
B) The issue never changes treatment intensity
C) Plaque rupture can trigger thrombosis and acute coronary syndromes
D) Baseline ASCVD risk is unrelated to expected benefit
Correct Answer: C) Plaque rupture can trigger thrombosis and acute coronary syndromes
Rationale: Plaque rupture can trigger thrombosis and acute coronary syndromes
5. A primary-care scenario involves elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Which CAD/lipid
conceptbest fits?
A) Non-HDL-C

, B) LDL-C
C) Atorvastatin
D) Statin muscle symptomsCorrect Answer: B) LDL-C
Rationale: LDL-C best matches the scenario. LDL-containing ApoB particles are causally related to ASCVD.
6. Which statement is most accurate regarding LDL-C?
A) The opposite relationship is expected in routine practice
B) LDL-containing ApoB particles are causally related to ASCVD
C) This concept is unrelated to ASCVD risk
D) It applies only to pediatric patients
Correct Answer: B) LDL-containing ApoB particles are causally related to ASCVD
Rationale: LDL-containing ApoB particles are causally related to ASCVD
7. Which management approach is most appropriate for LDL-C?
A) Ignore overall cardiovascular risk
B) Delay management until symptoms occur
C) Use a single laboratory value without clinical context
D) Use LDL lowering as a central strategy for ASCVD risk reduction
Correct Answer: D) Use LDL lowering as a central strategy for ASCVD risk reduction
Rationale: Use LDL lowering as a central strategy for ASCVD risk reduction
8. Which clinical consequence or safety issue is most important to recognize in LDL-C?
A) No meaningful clinical consequence is associated with this topic
B) Higher cumulative LDL exposure increases lifetime ASCVD risk
C) The issue never changes treatment intensity
D) Baseline ASCVD risk is unrelated to expected benefit
Correct Answer: B) Higher cumulative LDL exposure increases lifetime ASCVD risk
Rationale: Higher cumulative LDL exposure increases lifetime ASCVD risk
9. A primary-care scenario involves high triglycerides with concern for total atherogenic burden.
WhichCAD/lipid concept best fits?
A) ApoB
B) Rosuvastatin
C) Non-HDL-C
D) Triglycerides
Correct Answer: C) Non-HDL-C
Rationale: Non-HDL-C best matches the scenario. Non-HDL-C equals total cholesterol minus HDL-C and captures
cholesterol in all ApoB-containing particles.
10. Which statement is most accurate regarding Non-HDL-C?
A) The opposite relationship is expected in routine practice
B) This concept is unrelated to ASCVD risk
C) Non-HDL-C equals total cholesterol minus HDL-C and captures cholesterol in all ApoB-containing particles
