✍️ Sample CVT Questions & Answers
1. Which hemodynamic profile is consistent with hypovolemic shock?
Hypovolemic shock produces low filling pressures (CVP, PCWP), reduced cardiac output, and compensatory vasoconstriction (high SVR).
2. Which vein is commonly assessed for deep vein thrombosis (DVT)?
The femoral vein is one of the most commonly evaluated veins in DVT assessments.
3. Which portion of the aorta gives rise to the right and left coronary arteries?
The coronary arteries originate from the left and right aortic sinuses (sinuses of Valsalva) just above the aortic valve cusps.
4. 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.
5. ST elevation in leads V1–V4 with reciprocal depression in inferior leads most likely represents:
The anterior precordial leads V1–V4 overlie the anterior left ventricular wall, and ST elevation in these leads indicates an anterior STEMI, typically from LAD occlusion.
6. What does a high-resistance waveform typically indicate?
High-resistance waveforms are characteristic of arteries supplying muscles or organs with intermittent demand.
