    Study Notes

    Cardiovascular Disease Practice MCQs

    • Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an umbrella term encompassing conditions affecting the heart and/or blood vessels.
    • A significant portion (83.78%) of CVD cases involve the heart and/or blood vessels.
    • Regions within England vary in their CVD burden; the North West has the highest prevalence (72.22%).
    • Modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease include smoking (97.3%).
    • Modifiable risk factors also include low HDL cholesterol, high non-HDL cholesterol, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, excessive alcohol consumption, and overweight/obesity.
    • Risk factors for aortic valve stenosis do not include female sex (88.24%).
    • Complications of aortic valve stenosis include arrhythmias (88.24%).
    • Cardio-stimulatory medications include Digitalis (31.25%).
    • Pulse wave velocity helps estimate arterial stiffness (54.84%).
    • Laminar flow increases with endothelial permeability (69.23%).
    • A stable plaque is characterized by a dense extracellular matrix (59.26%).
    • Contributors to plaque erosion and rupture do not include decreased inflammation (65.38%).
    • Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) involves revascularization of ischemic cardiac tissue and often utilizes saphenous vein or internal mammary artery grafts (91.3%).
    • Physically active lifestyles generally increase exercise tolerance (79.17%).
    • Cardiovascular conditions stemming from atherosclerosis may include myocardial infarction (88%).
    • Symptoms of aortic valve stenosis include syncope (41.67%).
    • Heart failure can be caused by obesity (92%).
