CCI RVS ACTUAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
ANSWERS BY EXPERTS 2024 GRADED A+.
What is the major difference between protocols for cardiac treadmill and
claudication treadmill testing? - (ANSWER)Speed is varied during a cardiac
treadmill test to increase heartrate to a specific target level.
During a treadmill test, patient complains of pain in the left arm and jaw, but
denies any other pain. What is the most likely consideration? - (ANSWER)Angina.
What is the normal diameter for the abdominal aorta? - (ANSWER)2-3 cm.
After walking 5 minutes on treadmill, patient experiences decrease in ankle
pressure of 40% on right and 15% on left. These findings suggest? -
(ANSWER)Claudication.
What is the correct setting for arterial volume recording? - (ANSWER)AC-coupled
output.
What Doppler waveform abnormality in the lower extremity arterial circulation
distal to a hemodynamically significant stenosis show? - (ANSWER)An absent flow
recersal component, blunting of the peak velocity and prolonged upslope and
downslope.
A normal arterial volume waveform may have all EXCEPT: Swift upstroke, sharp
peak, rapid downslope bowed toward baseline, dicrotic notch or reverse flow
, 2
component? - (ANSWER)Reverse flow component because it is part of a Doppler
waveform not volume waveform.
T or F- Most analog Doppler analysis is qualitative, assessing for presence or
absence of characteristics. - (ANSWER)True.
What is the normal response of ankle pressure to exercise testing? -
(ANSWER)There should be no change if normal.
With severe lower extremity arterial occlusive disease, how will distal Doppler
waveforms appear? - (ANSWER)Markedly dampened, possibly making
interpretation difficult for distal segments.
What is the usual cuff pressure used in arterial volume recording? - (ANSWER)65
mmHg.
What would the CFA signal look like with aortoiliac occlusion? - (ANSWER)Low
pitched and monophasic.
T or F- Diastolic flow reversal is always present in all abnormal limbs. -
(ANSWER)False. It may be absent in vasodialted limbs.
What is the most important reason Doppler evaluations should be performed
with patient in a basal state and warm temperature? - (ANSWER)The results are
influenced by the patient's peripheral resistence.
