CCI RVS 2025-2026 UPDATED ACTUAL EXAM
WITH CORRECT SOLUTIONS.
What is the major difference between protocols for cardiac
| | | | | | | |
treadmill and claudication treadmill testing? - correct answer-
| | | | | | | |
Speed is varied during a cardiac treadmill test to increase
| | | | | | | | | |
heartrate to a specific target level.
| | | | | |
During a treadmill test, patient complains of pain in the left arm
| | | | | | | | | | |
and jaw, but denies any other pain. What is the most likely
| | | | | | | | | | | |
consideration? - correct answer- Angina.
| | | | |
What is the normal diameter for the abdominal aorta? - correct
| | | | | | | | | |
answer- 2-3 cm.
| | |
After walking 5 minutes on treadmill, patient experiences
| | | | | | |
decrease in ankle pressure of 40% on right and 15% on left.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
These findings suggest? - correct answer- Claudication.
| | | | | | |
What is the correct setting for arterial volume recording? - correct
| | | | | | | | | |
answer- AC-coupled output.

| | | | | |
What Doppler waveform abnormality in the lower extremity
| | | | | | |
arterial circulation distal to a hemodynamically significant
| | | | | | |
stenosis show? - correct answer- An absent flow recersal
| | | | | | | | |
component, blunting of the peak velocity and prolonged upslope
| | | | | | | | |
and downslope.
| |
Anormal arterial volume waveform may have all EXCEPT: Swift
| | | | | | | | |
upstroke, sharp peak, rapid downslope bowed toward baseline,
| | | | | | | |
dicrotic notch or reverse flow component? - correct answer-
| | | | | | | | |
Reverse flow component because it is part of a Doppler waveform
| | | | | | | | | | |
not volume waveform.
| | |
T or F- Most analog Doppler analysis is qualitative, assessing for
| | | | | | | | | |
presence or absence of characteristics. - correct answer- True.
| | | | | | | | |
What is the normal response of ankle pressure to exercise
| | | | | | | | |
testing? - correct answer- There should be no change if normal.
| | | | | | | | | | |
With severe lower extremity arterial occlusive disease, how will
| | | | | | | |
distal Doppler waveforms appear? - correct answer- Markedly
| | | | | | | |
dampened, possibly making interpretation difficult for distal
| | | | | | |
segments.

| | | | | |
What is the usual cuff pressure used in arterial volume recording?
| | | | | | | | | |
- correct answer- 65 mmHg.
| | | | |
What would the CFAsignal look like with aortoiliac occlusion? -
| | | | | | | | | |
correct answer- Low pitched and monophasic.
| | | | | |
T or F- Diastolic flow reversal is always present in all abnormal
| | | | | | | | | | |
limbs. - correct answer- False. It may be absent in vasodialted
| | | | | | | | | | |
limbs.
|
What is the most important reason Doppler evaluations should be
| | | | | | | | |
performed with patient in a basal state and warm temperature? -
| | | | | | | | | | |
correct answer- The results are influenced by
| | | | | | |
the patient's peripheral resistence.
| | |
Audible Doppler venous signals are usually low frequency and
| | | | | | | |
vary with respiration, where as normal arterial signals in the
| | | | | | | | | |
arms and legs are
| | . - correct answer- | | | | | |
Relatively high frequency with pulsatile components and dont
| | | | | | | |
change with respiration.
