CCI ARDMS Registry review Exam 2026
Questions and Answers
Which of the following would most likely result in a late systolic murmur? -
Correct answer-MVP typically happens late and has a late click.. And you would
get a later murmur associated the MR
Called "click murmur syndrome"
Electrical alternans is usually associated with - Correct answer-pericardial effusion
Electrical alternans= the height of QRS varies (taller and shorter) this is cause by
the fluid around the heart causing the heart to swim around so the electrical axis is
constantly changing
Which coronary artery feeds the "free wall" of the LV seen in an apical 4 chamber
view? - Correct answer-circumflex
The finding of an overriding aorta in the parasternal long-axis view of an
echocardiogram is most consistent with? - Correct answer-VSD (bc TOF)

, The resistance against which the ventricle contracts is known as? - Correct answer-
Afterload is- end systolic wall stress (will never ask this one) and systemic
vascular resistance
Prinzmetal is associated with a type of - Correct answer-angina; caused by
coronary vasospasm
Valvular atresia is a valve that is - Correct answer-underdeveloped or absent
Which of the following may be caused by rapid accumulation of fluid in the
pericardial space? - Correct answer-cardiac tamponade
A ventricular wall motion abnormality that is reversible with nitroglycerin is -
Correct answer-myocardial ischemia
Fine high frequency diastolic flutter of the mitral valve is most consistent with -
Correct answer-Aortic insufficiency- called austin flint murmur
Which of the following echocardiographic findings is most likely to be found with
Marfan's syndrome? - Correct answer-dilated AO root
What causes a pseudoaneurysm? - Correct answer-myocardial rupture
What would a dry nonproductive cough and dyspnea suggest in the cardiac
patient? - Correct answer-LV failure; Back up of the blood in the left side which
can cause the LA size to increase which would tickle the laryngeal nerve.
