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%).
