Question
Answer
Aortic insufficiency is indicated by a/an:   wide pulse pressure  
🗑
PCW= 12/43/20. You suspect:   mitral regurgitation  
🗑
AO= 180/50/93. You suspect:   Aortic regurgitation  
🗑
Why is the Diastole low in aortic regurgitation?   The AO has a second room (LV) to deposit the blood  
🗑
LV = 188/9/15. AO= 140/90/107. You suspect:   Aortic stenosis  
🗑
PCW= 36, LV edp = 18. What abnormality could cause such a gradient?   mitral stenosis  
🗑
A pullback gradient between LV apex and LV outflow tract suggests:   HOCM  
🗑
Large "a" waves in the LA waveform suggest:   Mitral stenosis  
🗑
In atrial fibrillation, which of the following cannot be measured? LV EDP, PCW, PA mean, RA a waves   RA a waves  
🗑
Which measurement best indicates right heart preload? PCW mean, PA diastolic, RA v waves, RV edp, RV mean pressure   RV edp  
🗑
Which of the following occurs in tricuspid stenosis? elevated RV systolic, Canon "v" waves, large "a" waves in the RA, elevated PA mean pressure, All of the above   Large "a" waves in the RA  
🗑
The square root sign in an RV waveform suggests   Restrictive cardiomyopathy or constrictive pericarditis  
🗑
In cardiac tamponade:   Right heart pressures elevate and equalize  
🗑
In pulmonary embolus:   PA diastolic pressure exceeds PCW  
🗑
In pulmonic stenosis:   There is a systolic gradient from RV to PA  
🗑
In acute VSD   RV pressures elevate  
🗑
PA= 64/38/47. What condition is consistent with this pressure?   PULMONARY HYPERTENSION  
🗑
SVC Sat _ 65%, RA = 66%, RV = 76%, PCW = 99%   VSD  
🗑
Stenosis of semilunar valves would be indicated by:   a systolic gradient  
🗑
Stenosis of atrioventricular valves would be indicated by:   a diastolic gradient  
🗑
A patient's pulmonary capillary wedge pressure shows a deep Y descent. All diastolic pressures were equal and show a plateau. What diagnosis do these pressure reading suggest?   Constrictive pericarditis or restrictive cardiomyopathy  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
