Quiz
Pulmonary hypertension
(Required)
Is a syndrome defined by increased pulmonary arterial pressures caused by a variety of diseases
Means that oxygen partial pressure is increased within the lungs
Means that the chest has been compressed by a trauma
Which statement is correct?
(Required)
It is important to detect pulmonary hypertension because it can cause significant morbidity
Pulmonary hypertension is always a harmless condition that never affects quality of life
Pulmonary hypertension can only identified with cardiac catheterization
A useful tool to determine pulmonary hypertension in dogs is
(Required)
Doppler ultrasonography
CBC
Auscultation
Pulmonary arterial pressures can be estimated
(Required)
using the maximum velocity to a tricuspid regurgitation jet in the absence of pulmonic stenosis
using the maximum velocity of a mitral regurgitation jet in the absence of aortic stenosis
using the maximum velocity of portal vein flow
Possible causes of pulmonary hypertension are
(Required)
Left sided congestive heart failure due to mitral valve disease
Heart worms
Intestinal foreign body
2D-echocardiographic signs of severe pulmonary hypertension are:
(Required)
Widening of the main pulmonary artery
Widening of the aortic root
Reduced fractional shortening of the left ventricle
Typical 2D-echocardiographic signs of severe pulmonary hypertension are:
(Required)
Septal flattening
Reduced motion of the mitral valve
An apical aneurysm of the right ventricle
A calculated systolic pulmonary arterial pressure of 120 mm Hg means
(Required)
Mild pulmonary hypertension
Moderate pulmonary hypertension
Severe pulmonary hypertension
Increased left atrial pressures due to severe degenerative mitral valve disease
(Required)
Can cause postcapillary pulmonary hypertension
Can cause Precapillary pulmonary hypertension
Cannot cause pulmonary hypertension because the left atrium is not connected to the pulmonary veins
Typical Clinical signs of severe pulmonary hypertension can be
(Required)
Ascites
Syncope
Lameness
