A 72-year-old man with multiple myeloma presents with progressive exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, and peripheral edema. On examination the blood pressure is $118 / 62 \mathrm{~mm}$ $\mathrm{Hg}$ without pulsus paradoxus; there is a 25-mm Hg systolic pressure postural decline. The jugular venous pressure is $12 \mathrm{~cm} \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$, and there is periorbital purpura, macroglossia, hepatomegaly, and prominent symmetric pitting edema to the level of the midthighs. His ECG is remarkable for very low limb lead voltage. Which of the following echocardiographic findings is expected? A. Increased right ventricular wall thickness with normal left ventricular thickness B. Abnormal regional longitudinal strain on speckle tracking that spares the apex C. Reversal of normal tissue Doppler mitral annular $\mathrm{E}^{\prime}$ velocity ratio (medial > lateral) D. Very large pericardial effusion
Which of the following is normally associated with an increased cardiac output? a. Cardiac tamponade b. Increased venous compliance c. Moderate anemia d. Severe aortic stenosis e. Surgically opening the chest Explain your answer

17. A decrease in afterload between heart beats, with constant EDV and contractility, would result in all of the following in the next beat EXCEPT? a. increase in stroke volume b. increase in end systolic volume c. decrease in peak left ventricular pressure d. increase in ejection fraction 18. The R wave of the ECG coincides with the beginning of which of the following period? a. atrial systole b. isovolumic contraction c. rapid ejection d. isovolumic relaxation e. rapid ventricular filling 19. You hear an S3 sound when you listen to the heart of a 50-year-old patient. What is the most likely diagnosis? a. Patent ductus arteriososis b. Aortic stenosis c. Mitral stenosis d. Congestive Heart failure e. Cardiopulmonary murmur 20. The following measurements were obtained in a male patient: Heart rate: 70 beats/min; Pulmonary vein [O2] = 0.3 mL O2/mL; Pulmonary artery [O2] = 0.2 mL O2/mL; Whole body O2 consumption: 500 mL/min; What is this patient's cardiac output in l/min? a. 2.00 b. 4.00 c. 5.00 d. 3.00 e. 6.00
