Questions



  1. 221. The following are potential complications of aortic valve endocarditis:

    1. A. Aortic root abscess
    2. B. Supra-annular mitral regurgitation
    3. C. Aneurysm of mitral–aortic intervalvular fibrosa
    4. D. Aneurysm of anterior mitral leaflet
    5. E. All of the above

  2. 222. The following statements are true about patent foramen ovale except:

    1. A. Pick-up rate is higher with saline contrast compared to color Doppler imaging
    2. B. Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is more sensitive than transthoracic echocardiogram
    3. C. Yield is higher with leg injection compared to arm injection for saline contrast
    4. D. Present in about 50% of normal population

  3. 223. Saline contrast echocardiography in a patient with cirrhosis of the liver showed appearance of contrast in the left atrium five beats after its appearance in the right atrium. This is suggestive of:

    1. A. Normal physiology
    2. B. Hepatopulmonary syndrome
    3. C. Patent foramen ovale
    4. D. Portopulmonary syndrome

  4. 224. Which type of aortic valve is least likely to be repairable for correction of severe aortic regurgitation?

    1. A. Failure of leaflet coaptation due to severely dilated ascending aorta with structurally normal leaflets
    2. B. Bicuspid aortic valve with prolapse of the conjoint cusp
    3. C. Aortic intramural hematoma with extension to the base of right coronary cusp causing it to prolapse
    4. D. Rheumatic aortic valve disease

  5. 225. TEE was performed intraoperatively following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) because of failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass. It showed akinetic inferior wall with 3+ mitral regurgitation originating at the medial commissure. These findings were not present preoperatively. The inferior wall looked excessively bright. Most likely problem in this patient is:

    1. A. Air embolism into right coronary artery (RCA)
    2. B. Thrombosis of RCA graft
    3. C. Excessively high blood pressure
    4. D. Excessive intravascular volume
    5. E. Poor myocardial preservation

  6. 226. The image is suggestive of:
    c12f001


    1. A. Aortic dissection
    2. B. Aortic valve endocarditis
    3. C. Unicuspid aortic valve
    4. D. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

  7. 227. Continuous wave Doppler shown here could be a result of:
    c12f002


    1. A. Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
    2. B. Severe mitral regurgitation
    3. C. Tricuspid regurgitation
    4. D. Ventricular septal defect

  8. 228. In this figure, number “1” denotes:
    c12f003


    1. A. Left atrium
    2. B. Right atrium
    3. C. Aorta
    4. D. Right pulmonary artery

  9. 229. In the figure, number “2” is:
    c12f004


    1. A. Superior vena cava
    2. B. Inferior vena cava
    3. C. Pulmonary artery
    4. D. Aorta

  10. 230. In the figure, number “3” denotes:
    c12f005


    1. A. Left atrium
    2. B. Right atrial appendage
    3. C. Inferior vena cava
    4. D. None of the above

  11. 231. This image shows:
    c12f006


    1. A. Large left pleural effusion
    2. B. Large pericardial effusion with no evidence of tamponade
    3. C. Large pericardial effusion with features of tamponade
    4. D. Mirror image artifact

  12. 232. This mitral inflow pattern is consistent with:
    c12f007
