ANSWER -C
Pulmonary arterial hypertension - narrowly split or even a singular S2
MR and VSD – A2–P2 interval increase -Premature closure of Aortic Valve
RBBB – A2–P2 interval increase -Delay in Pulmonic Valve Closure

Paradoxical splitting is seen in all of the following EXCEPT -

Correct! Wrong!

ANSWER -D
Reversed or paradoxical splitting - pathologic delay in aortic valve closure, such as that which occurs in patients with left bundle branch block, right ventricular pacing, severe AS, HOCM, and acute myocardial ischemia.

Which is TRUE regarding Murmur of AORTIC STENOSIS and HOCM in Valsalva maneuver -

Correct! Wrong!

ANSWER -C
Valsalva maneuver is to distinguish the murmur of aortic stenosis from hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
Aortic stenosis will soften or not change
Murmur of HOCM becomes loud with Valsalva.

HOCM Murmur intensify in case of all of the following EXCEPT–

Correct! Wrong!

ANSWER -A
Systolic murmur of HOCM - louder during the strain phase of the Valsalva maneuver and after standing quickly from a squatting position.
HOCM - murmur becomes softer with passive leg raising and when squatting.

NONEJECTION CLICK is seen in –

Correct! Wrong!

ANSWER -C
MVP murmur can be distinguished from a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy murmur by the presence of a mid-systolic click which is virtually diagnostic of MVP.

Classic MVP is diagnosed when the mitral valve leaflets are displaced more than --------------------- mm above the mitral annulus high points with more than -----------------mm thickness of the mitral valve leaflets.

Correct! Wrong!

ANSWER -B
MVP - mitral valve leaflets are displaced > 2 mm above the mitral annulus high points.
CLASSIC MVP: mitral valve leaflets thickness > 5mm
Non-Classic MVP: mitral valve leaflets thickness > 5 mm
