What is the primary imaging modality used in Echocardiography?

  1. X-ray

  2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

  3. Ultrasound

  4. Computed Tomography (CT) Scan

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Echocardiography utilizes ultrasound waves to create real-time images of the heart and its structures.

Which of the following is NOT a type of Echocardiography?

  1. Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)

  2. Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)

  3. Doppler Echocardiography

  4. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Echocardiography is performed using ultrasound waves, while MRI utilizes magnetic fields and radio waves.

What is the main purpose of Doppler Echocardiography?

  1. Assessing blood flow patterns in the heart

  2. Visualizing heart structures in detail

  3. Measuring heart chamber volumes

  4. Evaluating heart valve function

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Doppler Echocardiography uses the Doppler effect to assess the velocity and direction of blood flow within the heart and its chambers.

Which heart valve is commonly evaluated using Echocardiography for signs of stenosis or regurgitation?

  1. Mitral Valve

  2. Aortic Valve

  3. Pulmonary Valve

  4. Tricuspid Valve

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Echocardiography is used to evaluate all four heart valves for abnormalities such as stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leaking).

What is the term used to describe the abnormal thickening of the heart muscle?

  1. Hypertrophy

  2. Dilatation

  3. Ischemia

  4. Infarction

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hypertrophy refers to the thickening of the heart muscle, often a result of increased workload or certain medical conditions.

Which Echocardiography technique involves placing a transducer inside the esophagus?

  1. Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)

  2. Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)

  3. Stress Echocardiography

  4. Contrast Echocardiography

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Transesophageal Echocardiography involves inserting a transducer into the esophagus to obtain clearer images of the heart.

What is the purpose of Stress Echocardiography?

  1. Assessing heart function during exercise or stress

  2. Evaluating heart valve function

  3. Measuring heart chamber volumes

  4. Detecting congenital heart defects

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Stress Echocardiography is used to assess how the heart responds to increased workload or stress, often performed during exercise.

Which Echocardiography technique utilizes contrast agents to enhance the visualization of heart structures?

  1. Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)

  2. Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)

  3. Stress Echocardiography

  4. Contrast Echocardiography

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Contrast Echocardiography involves injecting contrast agents into the bloodstream to improve the visibility of heart structures.

What is the term used to describe the abnormal accumulation of fluid around the heart?

  1. Pericardial Effusion

  2. Myocardial Infarction

  3. Heart Failure

  4. Arrhythmia

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Pericardial Effusion refers to the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pericardial sac surrounding the heart.

Which heart chamber is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the body?

  1. Left Atrium

  2. Right Atrium

  3. Left Ventricle

  4. Right Ventricle

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The Left Ventricle is the chamber responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the body.

What is the term used to describe the abnormal narrowing of a heart valve?

  1. Stenosis

  2. Regurgitation

  3. Prolapse

  4. Atresia

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Stenosis refers to the abnormal narrowing of a heart valve, obstructing blood flow.

Which Echocardiography technique involves capturing images of the heart in motion?

  1. M-Mode Echocardiography

  2. Two-Dimensional (2D) Echocardiography

  3. Three-Dimensional (3D) Echocardiography

  4. Doppler Echocardiography

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Two-Dimensional (2D) Echocardiography captures real-time images of the heart in motion.

What is the term used to describe the abnormal leakage of blood through a heart valve?

  1. Stenosis

  2. Regurgitation

  3. Prolapse

  4. Atresia

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Regurgitation refers to the abnormal leakage of blood through a heart valve, causing backward flow.

Which Echocardiography technique involves capturing images of the heart from multiple angles?

  1. M-Mode Echocardiography

  2. Two-Dimensional (2D) Echocardiography

  3. Three-Dimensional (3D) Echocardiography

  4. Doppler Echocardiography

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Three-Dimensional (3D) Echocardiography captures images of the heart from multiple angles, providing a more comprehensive view.

What is the term used to describe the abnormal absence or underdevelopment of a heart structure?

  1. Stenosis

  2. Regurgitation

  3. Prolapse

  4. Atresia

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Atresia refers to the abnormal absence or underdevelopment of a heart structure.
