ACS Practice Questions - CCI Advanced Cardiac Sonographer Exam - ACS Practice Questions

Question 1

An ACS candidate is reviewing a study for exertional syncope. Which finding should be treated as immediately relevant to the interpreting physician before the final report is signed?

Mild tricuspid regurgitation with normal right-sided chamber size Severe calcific aortic stenosis with a peak velocity of 4.6 m/s Trace physiologic pulmonic regurgitation A normal E/A ratio in a patient in sinus rhythm

Correct Answer:

Severe calcific aortic stenosis with a peak velocity of 4.6 m/s

Question 2

A patient with a recent anterior myocardial infarction has a technically limited apical window and suspected apical thrombus. What is the best next imaging step during transthoracic echocardiography?

Use ultrasound enhancing agent for left ventricular opacification Measure mitral inflow only and defer the apex Report the study as normal if global EF appears preserved Switch to subcostal imaging only

Correct Answer:

Use ultrasound enhancing agent for left ventricular opacification

Question 3

Which historical detail is most important to document before interpreting a prosthetic aortic valve gradient?

The patient's preferred sleeping position The prosthesis type, size, and prior baseline gradient if available The patient's distance from the parking lot to the lab The brand of ECG electrodes used for the study

Correct Answer:

The prosthesis type, size, and prior baseline gradient if available

Question 4

A patient is in atrial fibrillation during diastolic function assessment. Which reporting approach is most appropriate?

Average multiple representative beats and avoid relying on E/A ratio Use one beat with the shortest RR interval for all measurements Assign grade I diastolic dysfunction if the A wave is absent Report normal diastolic function because atrial fibrillation invalidates all Doppler data

Correct Answer:

Average multiple representative beats and avoid relying on E/A ratio

Question 5

A study request says 'shortness of breath after chemotherapy.' Which echo data point is most directly tied to this history in a surveillance exam?

Biplane LVEF with comparison to prior LVEF and GLS when feasible Mitral valve leaflet thickness alone Pulmonary vein A-wave duration only Aortic valve M-mode opening slope only

Correct Answer:

Biplane LVEF with comparison to prior LVEF and GLS when feasible
