Question : Narrowed coronary arteries or plague rupture within the arteries
of the coronary system may directly cause which condition?
Venous Statis Diabetes
Hypertension
Coronary artery disease (Narrowed coronary arteries, plague
rupture, and sometimes even spasms of the coronary arteries are the three most common
direct causes for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. )
Question : Of the following, which is the best answer when asked for an
advantage of echocardiogram exercise testing over thallium stress testing?
Results are available more quickly (Echocardiogram
exercise test results are available more quickly.)
Does not depend on operator experience
Doesn’t matter because there are no
advantages Costs are the same
Question : A 55-year old man is referred to your clinic. He has been sedentary all
of his life, is gaining weight and wishes to get into better physical shape. He has never had
any chest pain or shortness of breath when walking or climbing a flight of stairs. Before
recommending a vigorous exercise routine for this patient, you order what test?
, : Stool samples CBC
ETT (Many patients have underlying CAD but remain
asymptomatic. Before beginning any new vigorous activities after years of sedentary
lifestyle, it is recommended that the patient obtains an ETT to rule out underlying CAD.)
Thyroid levels
Question : What ECG changes can reduce the specificity of the ETT?
Paced rhythm and resting bundle branch block (The ECG changes that can reduce
the specificity of the ETT are paced rhythm and resting bundle branch block. )
Low voltage up sloping of the ST-
segment Exercise induced bundle
branch blocks
Paced rhythm and exercise induced bundle branch blocks
Question : In women, you need to know the limitations of certain tests for CAD.
For example, single-photon emissions CT imaging, while an acceptable test for most men
and some women, is technically limited in women for two reasons. From the following,
choose the best possible answer.
Breasts and fat deposits in abdomen Smoking
rates and lack of uptake of photons
Breasts and smaller coronary arteries (Single-photon
emissions CT imaging is technically limited in women due to breasts and smaller
coronary arteries.)
Multiple vessel disease and fat deposits
, Question : Improvements in the delivery and management of healthcare are
necessary if we are to improve the overall health of this nation’s population. Which of the
following are identified in your readings as strategic in the movement to improve the
healthcare system?
