CCI Echocardiography Practice; Questions &
Answers 100% Pass
Which Aortic leaflet is the superior one in the PSLA Correct Answer-Right
Leaflet
Name the tricuspid leaflets Correct Answer-Posterior and Anterior
The coronary arteries come off of the.. Correct Answer-Sinus of Valsalva
Name the vessels coming off the arch and the most proximal or distal.
Correct Answer-Innominate (proximal), left carotid, and the left subclavian
(distal)
What cardiac pathology is associated with bicuspid aortic valves? Correct
Answer-Coarctation of the Aorta
Where do the most aortic Coarctation occur? Correct Answer-After the take-
off of the left subclavian artery, or within the aortic isthmus
Where are the pulmonary veins loca? Which ones are seen in this view?
Correct Answer-Rights and left superior (upper) pulmonary veins
Where is the coronary sinus located? Correct Answer-Posterior AV groove
To visualize the coronary sinus in the apical 4 chamber view you should tilt the
transducer.. Correct Answer-Posterior

Answers 100% Pass
During which phase do the coronaries fill? Correct Answer-early diastole
Where is the chiari network located? Correct Answer-RA
What portion of the pulmonary venous PW Doppler represents atrial systole?
Correct Answer-A wave
Know frequency for TEE probes versus TTE Correct Answer-TTE probes are
usually higher 5-7MGz, while TTE probes are 2-7MHz
At what temperature is it unsafe to use a TEE probe? Correct Answer-40-45C
Know TEE views by esophageal level (know mid esophageal- ME and
transgastric) and degrees. Correct Answer-4ch- 0 degrees
2ch- 90 degrees
LAX- 120 degrees
Why is the SA node the primary pacemaker? Correct Answer-The SA node
has the highest intrinsic rate of any cardiac tissue.
The save of contraction (depolarization) moves from the endocardium to the
epicardium. Correct Answer-Inside to outside. Look at the purkinje fibers
above.
