FM EORE Cardiovascular Review | 100+ Questions with Answers | MED312 | HTN, Angina, CHF, Valvular Disease

This expert-verified document contains over 100 multiple-choice questions and answers aligned with the Family Medicine End of Rotation Exam (EORE) for the cardiovascular system in the 2025 academic year. It follows the NCCPA blueprint and is designed for students in MED312 or equivalent clinical rotations in family medicine, internal medicine, or primary care. The content emphasizes clinical diagnosis, management, and pharmacology for common and life-threatening cardiovascular conditions. Each question is paired with accurate explanations to strengthen clinical reasoning and exam performance. Major topics include: Hypertension (HTN): stages, risk factors, resistant HTN, emergency vs. urgency, treatment algorithms, and medication monitoring Ischemic heart disease: stable angina, unstable angina, Prinzmetal's angina, and treatment response to nitroglycerin Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): claudication symptoms, skin changes, diagnostics (ABI, PVR), and lifestyle/pharmacologic management Arrhythmias: unstable bradycardia and tachycardia management, atrial fibrillation (AFib) treatment including rate/rhythm control and anticoagulation Endocarditis: clinical features (Janeway lesions, Osler nodes, Roth spots), Duke criteria, valve involvement by etiology (e.g., IV drug use, prosthetic valves), and empiric therapy Hyperlipidemia: statin therapy, metabolic syndrome, and lifestyle counseling Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): systolic vs. diastolic, BNP interpretation, chronic and acute treatment (LMNOP), and ejection fraction interpretation Valvular heart diseases: murmur characteristics and auscultation findings for aortic stenosis, regurgitation, mitral stenosis, regurgitation, and MVP This review is best suited for students and trainees in: Physician Assistant (PA) programs preparing for EOREs Medical students (MD/DO) during Family Medicine or Cardiology rotations Nursing and Nurse Practitioner (NP) students studying cardiovascular disorders Foreign medical graduates (FMGs) preparing for clinical board exams It serves as an effective tool for rotation prep, end-of-block exams, OSCEs, and PANCE review, providing high-yield, testable information with clinical applicability.
