Welcome to your Echo - CVT- Noninvasive Name Email 1. [The following are signs of chronic severe aortic regurgitation except:] Regurgitant fraction ≥60% Regurgitant volume of ≥60 cc Effective regurgitation orifice area ≥0.2 cm2 Vena contracta width ≥0.6 cm None . 2. [The following condition causes a reduction in the acceleration time of pulmonary arterial flow:] Pulmonary stenosis Pulmonary hypertension Dilated pulmonary artery Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction None . 3. [The mitral flow pattern shown here is suggestive of: (fig)] Normal LA pressure High LA pressure Atrial mechanical failure Abnormal LV relaxation with normal LA pressure None Comment . 4. [This image was obtained from the subcostal view. This is an image from a 41-yearoldmale with complaints of diarrhea, flushing, and weight loss. The image shows: (fig)] Normal heart and liver Carcinoid masses in the liver Liver cysts None of the above None Comment . 5. [The pulse wave Doppler in the right upper pulmonary vein is indicative of: (fig)] Abnormal left ventricular (LV) relaxation High left atrial (LA) pressure Mitral stenosis Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) None Comment . 6. [Normal mitral E-wave propagation velocity by color M mode inside the LV is:] 10–30 cm/s 30–50 cm/s Greater than 50 cm/s Greater than 500 cm/s None . 7. [What happens to the PRF when imaging depth is increased?] Increases Decreases Does not change Effect is variable None . 8. [The arrow in this image points to: (fig)] Left ventricular (LV) apical thrombus RV thrombus Rib artifact LA thrombus None Comment . 9. [Rapidly decelerating terminal portion of the AR signal is mainly influenced by:] LV negative dp/dt LV positive dp/dt LV end diastolic pressure Aortic end diastolic pressure None . 10. [In the figure, number “3” denotes: (fig)] Left atrium Right atrial appendage Inferior vena cava None of the above None Comment . 11. [Heart failure with normal ejection fraction can occur in the following except:] Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Cardiac amyloid Restrictive cardiomyopathy Dilated cardiomyopathy None . 12. [The diastolic and systolic frame of the pulmonary valve flow is suggestive of: (fig)] Mild PR only Mild PR, moderate-to-severe PS Normal flow pattern Cannot be determined None Comment . 13. [The arrow in this short axis view transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) image at thelevel of the ascending aorta is: (fig)] Artifact Tissue plane and aorta and RV outflow tract Aortic dissection Right coronary artery None Comment . 14. [Reflected ultrasound from an object moving away from the sound source will have a frequency:] Higher than original sound Lower than the original sound Same as the original sound Variable, depending on source of sound and velocity of the moving object None . 15. [All of the following are probable causes of mitral stenosis except:] Rheumatic fever Excessive calcification of the mitral annulus Phen-fen valvulopathy Ischemic heart disease None . 16.

[The still-frame image of an apical five-chamber view shows: (fig)] Artifact Anomalous coronary artery Coronary sinus Biventricular pacer lead None Comment . 18. [The signals shown here are annular: (fig)] Velocity Displacement Strain Strain rate None Comment . 19. [Continuous wave Doppler shown here could be a result of: (fig)] Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy Severe mitral regurgitation Tricuspid regurgitation Ventricular septal defect None Comment . 20. [The continuous wave Doppler signal shown here is suggestive of: (fig)] Dynamic LV outflow obstruction due to systolic anterior motion (SAM) Critical valvular aortic stenosis (AS) Subvalvular AS due to a membrane Flow in and out of pseudoaneurysm None Comment .
