One more Mock Exam?
Watch out for DEER!!!
I've got rhythm!
Did the baby sleep last night???
My teachers ROCK!
100
This echocardiographic technique is best for the detection of mitral regurgitation.
What is pulsed Doppler?
100
In normal patients, most ventricular filling occurs in this phase.
What is the first third of diastole?
100
This Doppler technique is utilized to determine peak aortic velocity in patients with aortic stenosis.
What is continuous wave Doppler?
100
A patient with a recent MI is diagnosed with Dressler's syndrome. The tech should pay special attention to rule out this.
What is a pericardial effusion?
100
In this view, the ultrasound beam is most perpendicular to the interatrial septum.
What is the subcostal 4 chamber?
200

3 normal cardiac responses on echocardiogram post stress echo.

What is increase in EF, decrease in LV dimension, all walls become hyperdynamic with symmetric wall thickening?

200
On the EKG, ventricular repolarization is represented by this.
What is the T wave?
200
This occurs when the velocity of blood flow exceeds the Doppler nyquist limit.
What is aliasing?
200
A midsystolic click and/or late systolic murmur are most characteristic of this.
What is mitral valve prolapse?
200
This is the standard echo view for ASD assessment with contrast.
What is the apical four chamber view?
300
A left ventricular thrombus is usually seen in an area of this.
What is abnormal wall motion?
300
The Doppler jet of mitral stenosis is sometimes confused with this.
What is aortic insufficiency?
300
Doppler measures a pressure drop (gradient) by the Bernoulli equation. This equation actually measures the __________ gradient across the valve.
What is the peak instantaneous?
300
This can cause an underestimation of the severity of aortic stenosis by continuous wave Doppler.
What is a low cardiac output?
300
Echocardiographically, patients with congestive cardiomyopathy have left ventricles which are this.
What is dilated and poorly contracting?
400
This is a common cause for right ventricular volume overload.
What is tricuspid regurgitation?
400
Kawasaki's disease may lead to this.
What is coronary artery aneurysm?
400
This is the most common lesion associated with Down Syndrome patients.
What is AV septal defect?
400
This is one of the most common complications of a myocardial infarction.
What is aneurysm formation?
400
Patients with long standing aortic stenosis will usually have this.
What is LVH?
500
This is the valve most often affected in patients with rheumatic heart disease.
What is the aortic valve?
500
When "electrical alternans" is seen on a patient's EKG, the echo will most likely show this.
What is a large pericardial effusion?
500
Premature mitral valve closure on M-mode is a sign of high left ventricular end diastolic pressure in the setting of this.
What is aortic insufficiency?
500
Estimation of the mitral valve area from Doppler is calculated by this.
What is pressure half-time?
500
In order to distinguish between pleural and pericardial effusions on a two-dimensional echocardiogram, it is helpful to identify this structure.
What is the descending aorta?
