Amyloidosis, hemochromatosis, or glycogen storage disease usually causes which form of
cardiomyopathy?
a.
Infiltrative
c.
Septal
b.
Restrictive
d.
Hypertrophic – CORRECT ANS–B
Restrictive cardiomyopathy may occur idiopathically or as a cardiac manifestation of systemic
diseases, such as scleroderma, amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, lymphoma, and hemochromatosis, or a
number of inherited storage diseases. This characterization is not true of the other forms of
cardiomyopathy.
Which condition is a cause of acquired aortic regurgitation?
a.
Congenital malformation
c.
Rheumatic fever
b.
Cardiac failure
d.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) – CORRECT ANS–C
Rheumatic heart disease, bacterial endocarditis, syphilis, hypertension, connective tissue
disorders (e.g., Marfan syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis), appetite suppressing medications,
trauma, or atherosclerosis can cause acquired aortic regurgitation. This selection is the only
available option that is known to cause acquired aortic regurgitation.
Which predominantly female valvular disorder is thought to have an autosomal dominant
inheritance pattern, as well as being associated with connective tissue disease?
a.
Mitral valve prolapse
c.
Tricuspid valve prolapse
b.
Tricuspid stenosis
d.
Aortic insufficiency – CORRECT ANS–A
Mitral valve prolapse tends to be most prevalent in young women. Studies suggest an
autosomal dominant and X-linked inheritance pattern. Because mitral valve prolapse often is
associated with other inherited connective tissue disorders (e.g., Marfan syndrome, Ehlers
Danlos syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta), it is thought to result from a genetic or
environmental disruption of valvular development during the fifth or sixth week of gestation.
This provided history is not associated with any of the other options.
