✍️ Sample CVT Questions & Answers
1. Which vein is commonly assessed for deep vein thrombosis (DVT)?
The femoral vein is one of the most commonly evaluated veins in DVT assessments.
2. How does risk management apply to daily practice in Cardiac Catheterization Procedures for Cardiovascular Technologist professionals?
Effective risk management in Cardiac Catheterization Procedures requires proactive hazard identification and preventive measures, not just reactive responses. This approach reduces incidents, improves outcomes, and protects both professionals and clients.
3. What does a high-resistance waveform typically indicate?
High-resistance waveforms are characteristic of arteries supplying muscles or organs with intermittent demand.
4. Beta-blockers are contraindicated in patients with which of the following conditions?
Beta-blockers are contraindicated in acute decompensated heart failure because negative inotropy can worsen cardiac output and precipitate cardiogenic shock.
5. During ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation, what does entrainment mapping help the electrophysiologist determine?
Entrainment mapping compares the post-pacing interval (PPI) to the VT cycle length; a PPI equal to the cycle length indicates the pacing site is within the circuit.
6. On a 3D electroanatomical bipolar voltage map, purple/blue color typically represents:
Purple/blue on bipolar voltage maps indicates dense scar (<0.5 mV), which commonly serves as the substrate for reentrant ventricular tachycardia.
