Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of echocardiography?

  • To create moving images of the heart using sound waves (correct)
  • To visualize the extent of perfusion of the arteries
  • To determine the site of narrowing/blockage of the coronary arteries
  • To map the forwards and backwards direction of blood flow

  • Chest X-ray

    • A 79-year-old man with 3 previous MI's develops breathlessness and puffy ankles. Select the correct pathophysiology.

  • Greater circulating volume causing capillary hydrostatic pressure (correct)
  • Increased fluid production due to circulating inflammatory cytokines
  • Reduced circulating volume causing increased cardiac output
  • □ Increased renal reabsorption of sodium causing increased blood pressure

    Study Notes

    Outward Signs and Symptoms of Cardiovascular Disease & Diagnostic Imaging in the Cardiovascular System

    • General observation of patients with cardiovascular disease can reveal signs of the disease in the hands, face, neck, trunk, and lower limbs.
    • Hypercholesterolemia can cause xanthomas, corneal arcus, and cutaneous xanthelomatosis.
    • Raynaud's phenomenon is a spasm of arteries that can cause reduced blood flow in the hands, which can lead to gangrene in severe cases.
    • Heart failure can cause peripheral edema, shortness of breath, fatigue, and coughing.
    • Central cyanosis can be seen in patients with chronic respiratory and/or cardiovascular disease.
    • X-ray imaging uses high frequency electromagnetic waves to produce images of the body, which can reveal the position and size/shape of the aortic arch, clear lung fields, cardiac size, and costophrenic angle.
    • Echocardiography uses sound waves to create moving images of the heart and is indicated for suspected valvular heart disease, abnormal left ventricular function, left ventricular hypertrophy, atrial fibrillation, embolus with a suspected cardiac source, pericardial disease, pulmonary embolism, and congenital heart defects.
    • Doppler echocardiography can map the forwards and backwards direction of blood flow.
    • Angiography involves injecting radio-opaque dye into arteries and taking x-rays in real time to visualize the extent of perfusion of the arteries and their branches.
    • Coronary angiography is indicated in patients with symptoms of cardiac ischaemia/infarction and can help determine the site of narrowing/blockage of the coronary arteries.
    • Limb angiography uses the same technique as coronary angiography to visualize the arteries in a leg.
    • Kahoot quiz is available to test understanding of the material.
