Question 1

What is the MOST common congenital heart abnormality?

Answer 1

Bicuspid aortic valve

Question 2

Most likely cause of finding on the cxr

Answer 2

Double density sign = left atrial enlargment. Likely secondary to MITRAL valve incompetency

Question 3

Answer 3

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Left ventricular septal thickening. Patchy enhancement that does not follow a vascular territory.

Question 4

What is the most common cause of an enlarged coronary sinus?

Answer 4

persistent left SVC

Question 5

Answer 5

non-compaction cardiomyopathy. myocardial thinning and trabecular thickening

“Non-compaction of the left ventricle, also known as spongiform cardiomyopathy or left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a phenotype of hypertrophic ventricular trabeculations and deep interventricular recesses. It has been hypothesized to result from arrest of normal myocardial compaction during embryogenesis, although acquired cases have also been reported.”

Question 6

Answer 6

2 = sinotubular junctinon

region of the ascending aorta between the aortic sinuses (of Valsalva) and where the normal tubular configuration of the aorta is attained.

Question 7

Answer 7

pulmonary valve stenosis.

• prominent pulmonary truck, systolic jet of blood passes through the stenosed valve prefentially enters the left pulmonary artery causing post stenotic dilation

Question 8

Answer 8

cardiac myxoma
