Question 1

Which cardiac anomaly is associated with coeur-en-sabot on a chest radiograph?&#10;A) TOF&#10;B) ASD&#10;C) VSD&#10;D) PDA

Accepted Answer

Coeur-en-sabot, which translates to "boot-shaped" heart, is a characteristic radiographic appearance associated with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). This appearance is due to right ventricular hypertrophy and a displaced apex of the heart.

Question 2

Which of the following is used to confirm the diagnosis of ASD?&#10;A) Electromyogram&#10;B) Electrocardiogram&#10;C) Echocardiogram&#10;D) Electrophoresis

Accepted Answer

An echocardiogram is used to confirm the diagnosis of ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) as it allows visualization of the heart's structure, including any holes or defects in the septum.

Question 3

What is the most common form of TGA?&#10;A) a-TGA&#10;B) b-TGA&#10;C) c-TGA&#10;D) d-TGA

Accepted Answer

d-TGA

Question 4

Which of the following are associated with tetralogy of Fallot?
1) Pulmonary artery stenosis.
2) Dextroposition of the aorta.
3) Right ventricular hypertrophy.
4) Atrial septal defect.

A)1, 3
B)1, 2, 4
C)2, 3, 4
D)1, 2, 3

Accepted Answer

Tetralogy of Fallot is characterized by four key features: pulmonary artery stenosis, dextroposition (overriding) of the aorta, right ventricular hypertrophy, and ventricular septal defect (not atrial septal defect, which is incorrectly listed in the options).

Question 5

According to the NHLBI, what is the most common type of birth defect?&#10;A) Cerebral palsy&#10;B) Congenital heart defects&#10;C) Congenital diaphragmatic hernia&#10;D) Cleft palate

Accepted Answer

Congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

Question 6

What is the most common congenital heart disorder?&#10;A) ASD&#10;B) VSD&#10;C) TGA&#10;D) TOF

Accepted Answer

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common congenital heart disorder. It involves a hole in the wall (septum) that separates the heart's lower chambers (ventricles) and allows blood to pass from the left to the right side of the heart.

Question 7

Which of the following are considered to be noncyanotic defects?&#10;1) PDA&#10;2) ASD&#10;3) TOF&#10;4) VSD&#10;A)1, 2&#10;B)2, 3&#10;C)1, 2, 4&#10;D)2, 3, 4

Accepted Answer

Noncyanotic defects include conditions where there is a left-to-right shunt or an obstruction that does not typically result in the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), and Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) are examples of such defects, where blood flow is from the higher pressure left side of the heart to the lower pressure right side, not typically causing cyanosis. Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), on the other hand, is a cyanotic defect due to its nature of mixing deoxygenated and oxygenated blood, leading to reduced oxygen levels in the blood pumped to the body.

Question 8

Which congenital cardiac abnormality results from &#34;the arrested development of the secundum septum&#34;?&#10;A) Ostium secundum VSD&#10;B) Ostium secundum ASD&#10;C) Ostium secundum TGA&#10;D) Ostium secundum TOF

Accepted Answer

The arrested development of the secundum septum leads to an ostium secundum atrial septal defect (ASD), which is a type of congenital heart defect characterized by an opening in the atrial septum allowing blood to flow between the two atria.

Question 9

What is the most common cyanotic congenital cardiac defect in neonates?&#10;A) ASD&#10;B) VSD&#10;C) TGA&#10;D) TOF

What is the term used to a describe a sudden, marked increase in cyanosis, followed by syncope?&#10;A) Vagal response&#10;B) A tet spell&#10;C) A hypocapnic spell&#10;D) A systolic thrill
