heart disease is ______________, and in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy the pattern is usually ______________
symmetric, the same
symmetric, asymmetric
asymmetric, symmetric
focal, diffuse
Term 2 of 200
Which of the following statements is correct
regarding tricuspid valve prolapse(TVP)?
TVP rarely leads to significant tricuspid regurgitation.
TVP most commonly occurs as an isolated finding.
TVP refers to abnormal diastolic displacement of the valve leaflet into the RA.
The anterior and septal leaflets are most commonly involved.
