CPC exam cardiac(with solved solutions)
Inlet valves of the heart correct answerstricuspid and mitral
outlet valves of the heart correct answerspulmonary and aortic
Chordae Tendineae correct answers"heart strings" are tiny white collagenic cords that anchor the
cusps to the ventricular walls. They originate from the papillary muscles.
When the right atrium contracts where does blood flow correct answersThe right ventricle
Lub sound of the heart correct answersTricupsid and mitral valve closing
Dub sound of the heart correct answersPulmonary and arotic valve closing
pacemaker cells correct answersheart cells that regularly produce spontaneous electrical impulses
Sinoatrial node correct answersLocated near the right atrium in the superior vena cava
Atrioventricular node correct answersLocated in the atrium on the septal wall of the atrium
Left main coronary artery correct answersSupplies left side of heart
Divides into circumflex, anterior descending
Left anterior descending coronary artery correct answerssupplies anterior 2/3 of the
interventricular septum, most of the anterior wall of the left ventricle and part of inferior wall of
the left ventricle
left circumflex artery correct answerscircles around the left side of the heart and is embedded in
the surface of the back of the heart.
right coronary artery correct answersartery vascularizing the right side of the heart
acute marginal branch artery correct answerstravels along the anterior portion of the right
ventricle the arteries continue to branch progressively smaller and smaller
Capillaries correct answersconnect arteries and veins
Major sequelae of rheumatic fever correct answersheart tissue lesions, that lead to chronic
rheumatic heart diseases
From ICD 10 guidelines when Hypertension and heart disease are documented you should
assume correct answersa causal relationship between the two, assign a code for I11 and
additional codes from I50, to identify any type of heart failure.
right coronary artery correct answers
, left circumflex artery correct answers
When coding hypertension and chronic kidney disease it is important to also code correct
answersN18 code for stage of CKD
or a code for acute renal failure if applicable
Hypertension, heart disease, and CKD assume... correct answersa causal relationship between all
3 conditions and code from category I13, if heart failure is present assign I50 to ID type of heart
failure, use NI18 for stage of CKD, or if renal failure is present assign a code for that.
cerebrovascular correct answerspertaining to the blood vessels of the brain
Hypertensive cardiovascular disease correct answersAssign a code from I60 and a code for the
hypertension. There is not a combo code here.
hypertensive retinopathy correct answersSubcategory, H35.0 background retinopathy and retinal
vascular changes, should be used with a code from category I10-I15, hypertensive disease to
include systemic hypertension, the sequencing depends on reason for encounter
How many codes are required for hypertension, secondary correct answerstwo
hypertension, transient correct answerselevated blood pressure reading with out a diagnosis of
hypertension
elevated cpk and troponin correct answersmay indicate damage to heart muscle
when there is a diagnosis of elevated cpk and troponin but no MI- correct answerscode abnormal
lab result from category "abnormal findings"
Type 1 MI correct answersSpontaneous MI related to ischemia due to a primary coronary event
such as plaque erosion and/or rupture, fissuring, or dissection
When coding MI there is an instructional note to also code what correct answers-identify use,
exposure, dependence to tobacco
OR
-status post administration of tPA (rtPA) in a different facility within the past 24 hours prior to
current admission
rtPA correct answersRecombinant tissue plasminogen activator
Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) correct answersUsed to reestablish blood flow
through a blocked artery to prevent cell death. Must be administered within 3 to 4.5 hours of
onset of clinical signs of ischemic stroke.
cardiac arrest correct answerscomplete stopping of heart activity
Inlet valves of the heart correct answerstricuspid and mitral
