DM / DNB Cardiology Entrance Mock Test 2

This study reported 32 arrhythmic episodes in 24 patients. There was spontaneous recovery with abstinence from alcohol. Reference 1. Ettinger PO, Wu CF, De La Cruz C Jr, Weisse AB, Ahmed SS, Regan TJ. Arrhythmias and the “Holiday Heart”: alcohol-associated cardiac rhythm disorders. Am Heart J. 1978 May;95(5):555-62.Question 14Diagnosis based on the echocardiogram: AEbstein’s anomaly of tricuspid valveBNone of the aboveCEndomyocardial fibrosisDIdiopathic dilatation of right atriumQuestion 14 Explanation:  Endomyocardial Fibrosis (EMF) is a type of restrictive cardiomyopathy. It is characterised by fibrosis and obliteration of the ventricular cavity, predominantly involving the right ventricle. Such gross right atrial enlargement may also be noted in Ebstein’s anomaly of tricuspid valve, but the fibrosis at right ventricular apex is not seen. In Ebstein’s anomaly, there is distal displacement of the septal and posterior leaflets of tricuspid valve.Question 15Prosthetic valve seen on this X-ray is:  AStarr-Edwards prosthetic mitral valveBStarr-Edwards prosthetic pulmonary valveCStarr-Edwards prosthetic tricuspid valveDStarr-Edwards prosthetic aortic valveQuestion 15 Explanation:  Prosthetic mitral valve is situated below the line joining the pulmonary bay and right cardiophrenic angle, while the aortic valve is situated above the line. Starr-Edwards mitral prosthetic valve has four struts while the aortic valve has only three strut...
