1. The peak velocity of aortic regurgitation indicates the the aorta and the LV in di-
maximum pressure gradient between: astole
the aorta and the LV in systole
the aorta and the LV in diastole
the LV and the LA in diastole
the LV and the LA in diastole
2. Which type of image resolution improves with proper Lateral
placement of the focal zone at the area of interest?
temporal
lateral
contrast
elevational
3. The tissue of the interventricular septum will be best the US beam is perpen-
visualized when: dicular to the long axis of
the septum
the US beam is parallel to the long axis of the septum
the US beam is perpendicular to the long axis of the
septu
the dynamic range is increased
harmonics is turned off
4. A 38yr old male presents for an echo due to a systolic bicuspid AV
murmur and has no other cardiac symptoms. Due to
patient habitus, 2D imaging is significantly limited but
the EF% appears normal. The aortic valve velocity is
4m/s with a peak pressure gradient of 64mmHg and

no aortic insufficiency is detected. Which of the follow-
ing is the most likely etiology of the aortic stenosis?
bicuspid AV
infective endocarditis
degenerative disease
Marfans syndrome
5. All of the following are evaluated on a cardiac MRI, mitral valve prolapse
except:
regurgitant volume of mitral regurgitation
left ventricular mass
Cardiac MRI cannot
demonstrate the fine
mitral valve prolapse
structures and motion of
the valves.
left ventricular systolic volume
6. You are performing a resting echo with contrast for the patient is most likely
wall motion evaluation. Just after the injection of mi- experiencing an anaphy-
crobubble contrast, the patient complains of feeling lactic reaction to the con-
short of breath and their face appears to be flushed. trast
The heart rate on the EKG is 117bpm. Which of the
following correctly describes their symptoms?
the patient is most likely experiencing a vasovagal
Tachycardia, bron-
reaction to the contrast
chospasm, wheezing,
pruitis, erythema, hives
this is a normal response to perfluorocarbon contrast
and a feeling of impend-

tic response. Because the
the patient is most likely experiencing an anaphylactic short time frame between
reaction to the contrast contrast injection and the
symptoms, the most likely
cause of the symptoms is
an allergic reaction.
7. Flattening of the IVS is least likely to be associated with 3mm muscular VSD
which of the following?
3mm muscular VSD
Congestive heart failure
Large ASD
Pulmonary HTN
8. Which of the following correctly describes the way to Pallor is a sign of vaso-
tell the difference between a vasovagal response and vagal response, while ery-
anaphylaxis caused by contrast injection? thema is a sign of anaphy-
laxis.
Hypertension is a sign of vasovagal response, while
hypotension is a sign of anaphylaxis.
Tachycardia is a sign of vasovagal response, while
bradycardia is a sign of anaphylaxis.
A feeling of impending doom is a sign of vasovagal
response, while dizziness and near syncope are signs
of anaphylaxis.
Pallor is a sign of vasovagal response, while erythema
is a sign of anaphylaxis.

The right coronary artery supplies which of the follow- interatrial septum
ing with blood?
LV anterior wall
LV apex
The right coronary artery
ventricular septum
supplies the RV free wall,
interatrial septum
RV apex, inferior LV wall
and interatrial septum
with blood.
10. All of the following describe Pompe disease, except? involves abnormal storage
of fat in the muscle tis-
type of infiltrative disease of the myocardium sues
involves abnormal storage of glycogen in the muscle
tissues
autosomal recessive disease
involves abnormal storage of fat in the muscle tissues
Pompe disease is an au-
tosomal recessive disor-
der that causes the abnor-
mal storage of glycogen
in the myocardial tissue. It
causes increased ventric-
ular thickening.
11. If the peak velocity of the E wave on the mitral tracing increased
is 1.2m/s and the tissue Doppler assessment of the
septal annulus indicates a peak velocity of E' of 6cm/s,
the LV diastolic filling pressures are ________________.
