Ventricular Function

Question 1

Echocardiography differentiates a pseudoaneurysm from a true ventricular aneurysm by the:
A. Diastolic motion of the aneurysm
B. Length of the aneurysm
C. Width of the border of the aneurysm
D. Width of the neck of the neck of the aneurysm

Answer 1

D. Width of the neck of the neck of the aneurysm

Question 2

The expected Doppler finding in a patient with ventricular septal rupture:

A. Laminar low-velocity flow during diastole on the left side of the interventricular septum.
B. Laminar high-velocity flow in diastole on the right side of the septum
C. Turbulent high velocity-flow in diastole on the right side of the septum
D. Turbulent high-velocity flow in systole on the right side of the interventricular septum.

Answer 2

D. Turbulent high-velocity flow in systole on the right side of the interventricular septum.
