Question 1
A 74-year-old man presents with exertional presyncope and angina. On cardiovascular examination, you palpate a slow-rising, low-amplitude carotid pulse and auscultate a harsh crescendodecrescendo ejection systolic murmur at the right upper sternal border that peaks late in systole and radiates to the carotids. The second heart sound (S2) is soft and single. Which bedside physical finding most strongly correlates with severe aortic stenosis?
Correct Answer:
Pulsus parvus et tardus with late-peaking systolic murmur and paradoxical splitting of S2
Question 2
During a bedside clinical examination of a 55-year-old woman with peripheral edema and a pansystolic murmur at the lower left sternal edge, you suspect tricuspid regurgitation rather than mitral regurgitation. Which physical examination finding best differentiates tricuspid regurgitation from mitral regurgitation?
Correct Answer:
Augmentation of murmur intensity during inspiration (Carvallo sign)
Question 3
An 82-year-old woman presents with recurrent lightheadedness and bradycardia. On inspection of the jugular venous pulse (JVP), you observe intermittent, large, abrupt positive venous pulsations ('cannon a waves'). Which underlying cardiac electrophysiological condition is most likely responsible?
Correct Answer:
Complete (third-degree) atrioventricular block
Question 4
A 28-year-old man presents with sharp substernal chest pain that worsens on lying flat and improves when leaning forward. His 12-lead ECG shows widespread upward-concave ST-segment elevation with PR-segment depression in leads I, II, aVF, and V2-V6, accompanied by PR elevation in lead aVR. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Correct Answer:
Acute pericarditis
Question 5
A 68-year-old man with ischemic cardiomyopathy presents with severe acute dyspnea, orthopnea, and pink frothy sputum. Blood pressure is 185/105 mmHg, heart rate is 118 bpm, and oxygen saturation is 84% on ambient air. Bilateral diffuse coarse crackles and wheezes are present throughout all lung zones. What is the most appropriate initial combination therapy?
Correct Answer:
Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (CPAP/BiPAP), intravenous loop diuretic, and intravenous vasodilator (nitroglycerin)
