Cardiac WB Qs
Questions from the beginning of ch. 24 of the workbook.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The anterior surface of the heart is made up almost entirely of the | right ventricle |
| All of the following are found in the right atrium except the: a. chiari network; b. superior vena cava; c. coronary sinus; d. eustachian tube; e. moderator band | e. moderator band |
| The interventricular septum runs continuous with the | anterior aortic root |
| All of the following are true about the mitral valve except: A.it's bicuspid; B. it's open in diastole; C. it helps control the flow of oxygenated blood; D. it's semilunar; E. has anterior and posterior leaflets | d. it's semilunar (it's actually an atrioventricular valve; aortic and pulmonary valves are semilunar.) |
| Normally the dominant pacemaker of the heart is | SA Node |
| Atrial contraction corresponds to which portion of the ECG? | P wave |
| Describe left heart circulation | pulmonary veins, left atria, mitral valve, left ventricle, aortic valve |
| The right atrium can be seen in all of the following except: PLAX, PSAX (atrioventricular level), apical four chamber,subxiphoid four chamber | PLAX |
| The aortic arch is visualized from which orientation: parasternal, apical, subxiphoid, suprasternal, right parasternal | suprasternal |
| Where should the left atrium be measured on the M-mode? Q wave, midsystole, T wave, largest dimension, QRS wave | largest dimension |
| Normal flow across the aortic valve appears as | flow away from the transducer, in the shape of a bullet during systole |
| Which point on an M-mode corresponds to atrial contraction? D, E, F, A, B, C | A |
| In most labs, what is the most common reason for obtaining a TEE? native valve function, detection of endocarditis, cardiac source of embolus, congenital heart disease | cardiac source of embolus |
| Suspected aortic dissection may be diagnosed with confidence with: an ECG, chest x-ray, nuclear interrogation, TEE | TEE |
| Patient preparation for TEE examination includes al the following except: 4 hour fast, patient medication, patient history, complete blood count (CBC) | Complete blood count |
| Tintraoperative TEE can be used to: evaluate valve repair, detect air or fat embolisms, monitor high-risk coronary artery disease, all of the above, none of the above | all of the above |
