CCI REGISTRY REVIEW 2024/2025
(COMPLETE SOULUTION) (COMPLETE AND
VERIFIED STUDY MATERIAL)
What is the first parameter to consider when assessing a patient for
diastolic dysfunction? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-LV Ejection Fraction
Describe the difference between a true aneurysm of the LV and a
Pseudoaneursym of the LV? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-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? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-100 mmHg
Which of the following will cause an increase in preload? -
✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
,_________________ are small fibrous nodular areas that are
normally identified on the central part of the aortic cusps. -
✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Nodules of Arantius
Aortic coarctation between the origin of the left common carotid and
the origin of the left subclavian artery will have what effect on the
brachial pressures? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Increased right arm pressure
and decreased left arm pressure
What type of magnification provides the highest frame rate and best
image resolution? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Pre-proccessing
What level of Pulmonary HTN is present with an acceleration time of
50 m/sec for the pulmonary valve doppler tracing? -
✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Severe
Which of the following describes the RV? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Several
chord tendinae attach directly to the ventricular wall
A 40 yr old with a 4mm VSD will demonstrate dilation of which of the
following chambers 1st? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Left Atrium and Left
Ventricle
When considering treatment options for an aneurysm of the LV, the
most important information the surgeon needs to see in the pre-op
report is? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Motion of the unaffected wall segments
,The ultrasound system relies on ____________ for accurate
recording of motion clips on an echo. - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-R wave and
T wave on the EKG
Which of the following windows provides the best evaluation of AS
using the PEDOF probe? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Suprasternal Notch view
You are evaluating a patient for elevated LAP, systolic function is
normal. Which of the following parameters is used to grade
dysfunction? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Left Atrial Volume Index
Grade III diastolic dysfunction of the LV is commonly associated
with? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Advanced Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
The ______________ represents atrial systole on the doppler tracing
of the Pulmonary Vein. - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-A wave
Which type of image resolution improves with proper placement of
the focal zone at the area of interest? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Lateral
resolution
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy will usually cause what change in
brachial blood pressures during treadmill testing? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-
Decrease in systolic and diastolic pressure
, Which of the following describes how to visualize all 3 hepatic veins
on the same image? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Subcostal Transverse view,
angled toward patient's right shoulder
A patient presents due to a recent stroke. Considering there is a
normal septum, which of the following could be a potential cause? -
✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Aortic Valve Stenosis
Which method for MR assessment is the most accurate when
evaluating a mechanical valve mitral valve replacement in the A4C? -
✔✔ANSWER✔✔-PISA Radius
You suspect calcification in the LV. You activate harmonics and add a
focal zone to the field of view. Which type of resolution improves the
most? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Lateral
The vena contract measurement for TR should be performed in what
view? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Parasternal RV Inflow View
Carnitine deficiency is associated with? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Dilated
Cardiomyopathy
_________________ is a common finding with infiltrative
cardiomyopathy, endocarditis, and a recent MI. - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-
Pericardial Effusion
IVC plethora is a common finding in? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Constrictive
Pericarditis
