RCES part 2 Exam Questions and Answers
with Verified Solutions | Latest Updated 2026
T wave What is the circled wave?
QRS What is the large ECG waveform at the
arrow
A wave following a PVC What is the waveform at the arrow in the
EGM?
V wave What is the waveform pointed to?
PJC What type of conduction happens in the
3rd (last)
complex shown (look at the last complex,
not the
arrow)?
RV In this EGM, pacing is performed via which
catheter?
,HRA At the start of an electrophysiology study
the
physician may pace the heart from several
different
areas for baseline measurements. What
catheter is
being paced in this example?
It'll be wide. What will the QRS look like on the surface
leads if
the RVa is being paced?
Pacing output What information does the "stim" line give?
Pacing at a fixed cycle length. What is burst pacing?
Pacing at a constant cycle length What is incremental pacing (decremental)?
slightly shorter than the patient's
spontaneous rhythm then
decreasing
cycle length (or increasing the
pacing rate) by small steps
(usually
10 ms).
, -Inner lumen made of teflon What is the typical guiding catheter or long
-Braided stainless steel wires sheath
imbedded in a plastic jacket to made from?
make
the catheter strong and torquable
-Polyurethane forms the body of
the
catheter
-Coating that is hypo
thrombogenic:
can include silicone, heparine,
hydrophilics
Diagnostic EP electrodes Many catheters can not be reused. After
being
used in a patient what type of "single use
devices"
may be re-sterilzed by 3rd party
processors and
then re-used on other patients?
8F What French size is a catheter with an
(to remember-6 F is 2 mm so set outer
up a diameter of 2.66 mm?
proportion 2mm/6 F=2.66 mm/x F)
1.83 mm The outside diameter of a 5.5 French
catheter is:
0.038 inch The TIP inner diameter on standard
diagnostic
cardiac catheters is:
