Welcome to your Echo - CVT- Noninvasive Name Email 1. [This patient is likely to have: (fig)] Acute severe AR Mild AR Mitral stenosis None of the above None Comment . 2. [Widening the color box on the display will _________ the frame rate.] Increase No change Decrease Cannot be determined None . 3. [The still-frame image of an apical five-chamber view shows: (fig)] Artifact Anomalous coronary artery Coronary sinus Biventricular pacer lead None Comment . 4. [Post-ejection left ventricular (LV) shortening may be found in all of the following conditions except:] Hypertensive heart disease Ischemic cardiomyopathy Cardiac syndrome X Mitral stenosis None . 5. [The Continuous wave Doppler flow is suggestive of: (fig)] Severe mitral regurgitation LV mid-cavity obliteration Dynamic outflow obstruction Severe aortic stenosis None Comment . 6. [Examples of continuous wave imaging include:] Two-dimensional image Volumetric scanner-acquired LV image Color flow imaging Nonimaging Doppler probe (Pedoff) None . 7. [The arrow on this TEE image points to: (fig)] Coronary artery Aortic valve ring abscess Artifact Coronary sinus None Comment . 8. [Stroke risk in a patient with patent foramen ovale (PFO) is influenced by:] Size of PFO Atrial septal aneurysm History of prior stroke or transient ischemic attack All of the above None of the above None . 9. [The frame rate increases with:] Increasing the depth Reducing sector angle Increasing line density Adding color Doppler to B-mode imaging None . 10. [The arrow is indicative of: (fig)] Diastolic mitral regurgitation An artifact Pulmonary vein D wave picked up by the continuous wave cursor Mitral annular motion superimposed on the mitral flow None Comment . 11. [What is the abnormality seen on this transthoracic echocardiogram? (fig)] Aneurysmal left atrium Partial absence of the pericardium Thoracic aortic aneurysm Loculated pleural effusion None Comment . 12. [The arrow here points to: (fig)] Left atrium Right pulmonary artery Posterior pericardial effusion Left pleural effusion None Comment . 13. [Multiple focuses are not used in color Doppler imaging because:] It would not improve the image Doppler transducers cannot focus Frame rates would be too low None of the above None . 14. [Acoustic impedance equals (rayls):] Density in kg/m3 × speed of sound in m/s Density in kg/m3 × transducer frequency in MHz Depth in meters × transducer frequency in MHz None of the above None . 15.
