NCMA 219 PRACTICE TEST QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) ✅An Abnormal Opening Between The Atria.
Ventricular Septal Defect ✅An Abnormal Opening Between The Right And Left
Ventricles.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) ✅The Failure Of The Fetal Ductus Arteriosus To
Close Within The First Weeks Of Life.
Atrioventricular Canal (AV Canal) ✅Incomplete Fusion Of The Endocardial Cushions
Low ASD
High VSD
Large Common AV Valve
Allows Blood To Flow Between All 4 Chambers
Common In Down Syndrome
Aortic Stenosis (AS) ✅Narrowing Or Stricture Of The Aortic Valve, Causing Resistance
To Blood Flow In The Left Ventricle, Decreased Cardiac Output, Left Ventricular
Hypertrophy, And Pulmonary Vascular Congestion.
Coarctation Of The Aorta (COA) ✅Is The Narrowing Or Constriction In The
Descending Aorta, Often Near The Ductus Arteriosus Or Left Subclavian Artery,
Obstructs The Systemic Blood Outflow.
Pulmonic Stenosis (PS) ✅The Narrowing Of The Entrance Of The Pulmonary Artery.
Tetralogy Of Fallot (TOF) ✅Four Defects Involved: Pulmonary Stenosis, RV
Hypertrophy, Ventricular Septal Defect, Overriding Aorta
-The Overriding Aorta And VSD Allow Unoxygenated Blood To Pass Into The Systemic
Circulation
Tricuspid Atresia ✅The Tricuspid Valve Fails To Develop, Consequently, There Is No
Communication From The Right Atrium To The Right Ventricle.
, Transposition Of The Great Arteries (TGA) ✅The Pulmonary Artery Leaves The Left
Ventricle, And The Aorta Exits From The Right Ventricle With No Communication
Between The Systemic And Pulmonary Circulation.
Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return (TAPVR) ✅A Rare Defect Characterized
By Failure Of The Pulmonary Veins To Join The Left Atrium.
Supracardiac ✅Attachment Above The Diaphragm, Such As To The SVC (Most
Common Form).
Cardiac ✅Direct Attachment To The Heart, Such As To The Right Atrium Or Coronary
Sinus.
Infradiaphragmatic ✅Attachment Below The Diaphragm, Such As To The IVC (Most
Severe Form).
Truncus Arteriousus ✅Failure Of Normal Septation And Division Of The Embryonic
Bulbar Trunk Into The Pulmonary Artery And The Aorta, Which Results In Development
Of A Single Vessel That Overrides Both Ventricles.
Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) ✅Is The Under-Development Of The Left
Side Of The Heart, Resulting In A Hypoplastic Left Ventricle And Aortic Atresia.
Congenital Heart Disease (CHF) ✅Occurs When Heart Function Is Impaired And
Cardiac Output Is Inadequate To Support The Body's Circulatory And Metabolic Needs.
Rheumatic Fever (RF) / Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) ✅An Inflammatory Disease
That Occurs After Infection With Group A B-Hemolytic Streptococcal (GABHS)
Pharyngitis.
Bacterial Infective Endocarditis ✅An Infection Of The Inner Lining Of The Heart,
Generally Involving The Valves.
Kawasaki Disease ✅An Acute Systemic Vasculitis Of Unknown Cause. It Is Seen In
Every Racial Group, And About 75% Of The Cases Occur In Children Younger Than
The Age Of 5 Years, With Peak Incidence In The Toddler Age Group.
Respiratory Dysfunction ✅Infections Of The Respiratory Tract Are Described
According To The Anatomic Area Of Involvement.
Acute Streptococcal Pharyngitis ✅An Infection That Primarily Affects The Pharynx,
Including Tonsils.
Tonsilitis ✅An Infection Or Inflammation Of The Palatine Tonsils.
