CCI Registry Review 2022 (COMPLETE SOULUTION)

A patient with conduction abnormalities, asymmetric LVH, and hyper echoic endocardial layer most likely suffers from? - Fabry Disease What measurements are needed to calculate Left Atrial Pressure? - MR velocity and Systolic BP Congenital PS is most commonly associated with what? - Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) What is the first parameter to consider when assessing a patient for diastolic dysfunction? - LV Ejection Fraction Describe the difference between a true aneurysm of the LV and a Pseudoaneursym of the LV? - A true aneurysm involves weakening of the myocardial layer. A pseudo aneurysm is a rupture of the endocardium and myocardium, while the blood is contained by the pericardium. In a patient with a PDA, normal intracardiac pressures can be assumed if the peak pressure gradient across the ductus is equivalent to? - 100 mmHg Which of the following will cause an increase in preload? - Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) _________________ are small fibrous nodular areas that are normally identified on the central part of the aortic cusps. - Nodules of Arantius
