CCI ECHO REVIEW EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTION
Which abnormalities commonly go with Marfan's?
Mitral Valve prolapse and Aortic dilation
Papillary muscle dysfunction usually results from
Ischemic Heart Disease
In order to record the veg of endocarditis by echo, it must be
3 mm
How many veins connect the pulmonary vascular bed with the LA?
4
Which cardiomyopathy is associated with amyloidosis?
infiltrative
Which m-mode finding is considered to be a specific indicator of a fenestrated
AV?
Diastolic
Pulmonic stenosis in uncommon as an isolated defect and is usually
accompanied with a
VSD
false overriding of the aorta may be produced on the m-mode echo by
Positioning the tdx in too high an intercostal space
A fib is most common with what valvular disease
rheumatic mitral stenosis
Example of a bioprosthetic
bovine, equine, or porcine valve
When a patient has a clinical diagnosis of pericarditis
pericardial effusion may not be present
TV closure usually occurs
less than 0.06 seconds after MV closure
Kawasaki's disease may lead to
coronary artery aneurysm
which echo technique is best for the detection of MR
pulsed doppler
atrial myxomas are usually attached to the
fossa ovalis region of the atrial septum
which 2d views are best for direct imaging of a discrete subaortic membrane
apical 5 and apical long axis view
premature opening of the pulmonary valve may be seen in
constrictive pericarditis
an underestimation of AS may occur because of
low CO
Estimation of MV area from doppler is calculated by the
pressure half-time
, What is the standard view for contrast study with an ASD?
apical 4
The doppler jet of MS obtained at the apex is sometimes confused with
Aortic Insufficiency
For patients with AS and A fib, peak systolic aortic velocity will
be higher following long R-R intervals
Aliasing on color flow doppler is shown by a
reversal in color
Premature MV closure on mmode is a sign of high LV diastolic pressure in
aortic insuffiency
Midsystolic clicks and or late systolic murmurs are most characteristic of
MV prolapse
The two most frequently encountered congenital heart lesions in adults are
ASD and bicuspid AV
On m-mose a flail MV may have a similar appearance to
an infected MV
One of the most common complications of a myocardial infarction is
Aneurysm formation
in pericardial effusion the motion of the pericardium may be
damped
On 2D Echo, a cleft MV may be confused with an anatomic
TV
In which view is the ultrasound beam most perpendicular to the IAS
subcostal 4 chamber
To determine peak AS velocity the tdx should be
be continuous wave
secondary findings in mitral stenosis
LA enlargement and signs of pulmonary hypertension
patients with longstanding AS will have
LVH
Patients with AI may have serial echos for
left ventricular dimension changes
A left ventricular thrombus is usually in an area of
abnormal wall motion
Rupture of the IVS is most commonly a complication of
myocardial infarction
Ventricular repolarization
T wave
A common cause for right ventricular volume overload
Tricuspid regurgitation
Premature closure of the MV can be seen in patients with
Aortic insufficiency
Most common cause of MR in elderly patients
Calcified mitral annulus
LV mass (weight) remains normal in chronic
Mitral stenosis
