Term 2 of 128
Tricuspid valve closure usually occurs:
before mitral closure
simultaneously with mitral valve
less than 0.06 seconds after mitral closure
more than 0.06 seconds after mitral closure
Term 3 of 128
Hemodynamically moderate aortic insufficiency will result in:
pulmonic regurge
increased cardiac output
Right Ventricular hypertrophy
Left ventricular volume overload
,Term 4 of 128
Patients with long standing aortic stenosis will usually have:
LVH
LV Dilation
Diastolic aortic flutter
Mitral ring calcification
Term 5 of 128
Mid-systolic clicks and or late systolic murmurs are most characteristic of:
mitral stenosis
Pulmonary stenosis
aortic valve prolapse
Mitral valve prolapse
Term 6 of 128
In a patient with carcinoid heart disease, the cardiac sonographer must devote special attention
to identifying abnormalities of the :
Aortic arch
Aortic valve
Mitral valve
Tricuspid valve
,Term 7 of 128
The patient you are examining has clear cut auscultatory and angiographic evidence for mitral
prolapse, yet the resting echocardiogram is normal. You should then :
raise patients legs
perform a cold pressor test
echo the patient in the standing position
have the patient hold his breath in deep inspiration
Term 8 of 128
AT cardiac catheterization a patient has equal end-diastolic pressures between both atria and
both ventricles suggesting :
patent ductus arteriosus
Constrictive pericarditis
chronic mitral regurgitation
cardiac tamponade
Term 9 of 128
An advantage of continuous wave doppler over pulsed wave doppler is:
range resolution
Low nyquist limit
peak velocity detection
Aliasing can be detected
, Term 10 of 128
An M-mode sweep from the LV to aorta is used in patients suspected with pericardial effusion to:
Rule out tamponade
rule out dressler's syndrome
differentiate pericardial from pleural effusion
differentiate restrictive from constrictive pericarditis
Term 11 of 128
The use of the continuity equation in patient with aortic stenosis is based on the premise that:
the worse the stenosis, the higher the V'
the worse the stenosis, the lower the V'
the higher the cardiac output the lower the V2
flow below the valve is equal to flow above the valve
Term 12 of 128
In a patient with mitral stenosis, a continuous wave doppler study shows a peak diastolic velocity
of 2 m/s. What is the peak pressure gradient across the mitral valve?
8 mmhg
16 mmhg
32 mmhg
90 mmhg
