Echocardiography & Stress Testing
2024/2025 Exam Questions and Answers
| 100% Solved
transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔a noninvasive
imaging modality that uses high frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to
evaluate cardiac anatomy, physiology and function.
The patient lies on an exam table while a skilled cardiac sonographer uses
an ultrasound transducer to obtain different views of the heart. -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔How is an transthoracic echocardiogram done?
1.Evaluate cardiac anatomy (size, shape, structure and anatomical
positions of the chambers and valves)
2.Evaluate the cause of symptoms (i.e. dyspnea) or clinical findings (i.e.
murmur or arrhythmia).
3.Evaluate ventricular function and wall motion, chamber size, aortic root
diameter, pericardial effusions
4.Evaluate valve structure and function

, 5.Assess volume status (Inferior vena cava) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔What are the
indications of echocardiogram?
1.New or worsening symptoms:
-Shortness of breath/Dyspnea on exertion
-Presyncope/ syncope
-.Decrease in exercise tolerance
-.Chest pain/ pressure
2.Signs/Symptoms of heart failure:
-Lower extremity edema
-.SOB/DOE
-PND (paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea)
-Orthopnea
3.Re-evaluation of known cardiac abnormalities with a change in signs or
symptoms:
-.Evaluate progression of valvular disease
