CCI Echo Review 2024 Questions and Answers Graded A

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
