Cardiovascular And Pulmonary Rehab
Full Set Questions And Correct Answers
Indication for Sweat Test - CORRECT ANSWER- Typically done
between 10 days and 4 weeks of age for babies who have had a positive
newborn screen.
Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) - CORRECT ANSWER- Measures
FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC and TLC.
Pulse Oximetry (Pulse OX) - CORRECT ANSWER- Probe is placed
on finger, toe or ear lobe to measure oxygen saturation.
Arterial Blood Gases (ABG) - CORRECT ANSWER- Used to
measure the acidity (pH) and the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Normal values for ABG - CORRECT ANSWER- pH: 7.35-7.45,
PaCO2: 35-45 mm Hg, PaO2: >80 mm Hg, SpO2: >95%, HCO3-: 22-26.
Bronchoscopy - CORRECT ANSWER- Bronchoscope is passed
through your nose or mouth, down the throat and into the lungs.
Holter monitor - CORRECT ANSWER- 24 ECG monitoring to look for
arrhythmias
Indications for Holter monitor - CORRECT ANSWER- Syncope,
dizziness, SOB, assessment of arrhythmia
Findings of Holter monitor - CORRECT ANSWER- Used to refer
patients to stress tests or Electrophysiology Studies
Echocardiogram - CORRECT ANSWER- Ultrasound (US) used to
evaluate the function of the heart
,Indications for Echocardiogram - CORRECT ANSWER- Pericardial
effusion, tamponade, ICM, HCM, MR/MVP, AR/AS, vegetation, masses,
LV aneurysm, aortic dissection, congenital heart disease, ventricular
thrombi, pericarditis, ischemic cardiac muscle
Findings of Echocardiogram - CORRECT ANSWER- Size of
chambers, thickness of walls, valve function, EF, motion of ventricular
walls
Transesophageal Echocardiogram - CORRECT ANSWER- Patient
swallows US catheter, tube is positioned in the esophagus directly
behind the heart
Trans thoracic Echocardiogram - CORRECT ANSWER- Ultrasound
head used on outside aspect of chest wall
Stress echo - CORRECT ANSWER- Before and after exercise to
evaluate ischemic induced wall motion abnormalities
Contrast echo - CORRECT ANSWER- Assess blood flow
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan - CORRECT ANSWER-
A nuclear tracer deposits in organ and gives off positrons, camera
records the positrons and creates a picture
Indications for PET Scan - CORRECT ANSWER- CAD and LV
dysfunction
Findings of PET Scan - CORRECT ANSWER- Metabolic function and
blood flow
Computed Tomography (CT) Scan - CORRECT ANSWER-
Computer-processed combinations of many x-ray measurements taken
from different angles
Indications for CT Scan - CORRECT ANSWER- Possible masses,
aneurysms and pericarditis, PE
, Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) -
CORRECT ANSWER- Nuclear chemical injected, emits gamma rays
detected by the camera
Indications for SPECT - CORRECT ANSWER- Used to quantify
myocardial perfusion and contractility deficits
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - CORRECT ANSWER- Scan
that uses magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to provide
images
Indications for MRI - CORRECT ANSWER- Used to diagnose valve
disease, shunts, masses and thrombi
Findings of MRI - CORRECT ANSWER- Evaluates morphology,
coronary blood flow and myocardial contractility
Magnetic Resonance Angiogram (MRA) - CORRECT ANSWER-
Identical to MRI, but techniques are geared to show movement of blood
within veins and arteries
Indications for MRA - CORRECT ANSWER- Used to diagnose
aneurysms, atherosclerosis, vasculitis, congenital malformations
Findings of MRA - CORRECT ANSWER- Evaluates blood vessels,
location of blockages and severity of blockages
Cardiac Catheterization - CORRECT ANSWER- Catheter is inserted
in femoral or brachial artery, passes into great vessels and heart
chambers
Indications for Cardiac Catheterization - CORRECT ANSWER- Heart
dysfunction and heart disease
Findings of Cardiac Catheterization - CORRECT ANSWER-
Presence and severity of CAD, valve disease, shunts, pericardial
disease, aneurysms
