It's Electrical
This autosomal dominant condition is characterized by the presence of an Epsilon wave on the ECG.
Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC)
Respiratory variation of mitral inflow velocity greater than what percentage is supportive of cardiac tamponade?
25% or more
According to 2020 guidelines, how often should an asymptomatic 35-year-old with HCM undergo surveillance echo?
Every 1 to 2 years
How long must ACE inhibitors be discontinued before initiating Sacubitril/Valsartan?
36 hours
Identify the diagnosis: Diffuse ST elevation and PR depression.
Acute Pericarditis
For a patient with palpitations from AV re-entry (Left Anterior Pathway), where should the ablation catheter be placed?
The Mitral Annulus
A "square root sign" on an RV pressure tracing suggests which diagnosis?
Pericardial Constriction
Name the phase of the cardiac cycle where pressure rises but volume remains constant.
Isovolumetric Contraction
Based on the DEFINE-FLAIR study, an iFR value at or below this number is considered significant.
0.89
Identify the diagnosis: ST elevation in II, III, aVF with ST depression in V1-V2.
Inferior-Posterior STEMI
What electrolyte is directly related to the mechanism of bi-directional VT (often seen in Digoxin toxicity or CPVT)?
Calcium
This structure forms the lower boundary of the transverse pericardial sinus.
The Left Atrium
Mutations in the gene producing this protein are strongly implicated in Marfan Syndrome.
Fibrillin-1
While IV Cangrelor is being infused, only this oral FDA-approved antiplatelet can be given.
Ticagrelor
Identify the diagnosis: Tall R wave in V1 with a narrow QRS
Right Ventricular Hypertrophy (RVH)
This channelopathy (Long QT) was originally described as being inherited in what manner?
Autosomal Dominant
This carcinogen is the cause of the most common primary pericardial tumor (Mesothelioma)
Asbestos
For an HCM patient with paroxysmal AFib, name the first and second line anticoagulant options in sequence.
1st: DOAC; 2nd: Vitamin K Antagonist
This condition results in a rapid "y" descent in the right atrium (not constriction).
Tricuspid Regurgitation
Identify the error: Positive P and QRS in aVR with negative findings in Lead I.
Lead Reversal (Limb Leads)
