Practical study 6

THE RIGHT BORDER OF RELATIVE DULLNESS OF THE HEART IS NORMALLY DETERMINED BY

• in the 4th intercostal space 0.5-1.5 cm laterally from the right edge of the sternum

• in the 4th intercostal space 2.5 cm laterally from the right edge of the sternum

• in the 5th intercostal space along the right edge of the sternum

• in the 4th intercostal space along the left edge of the sternum

• in the 3rd intercostal space 1.5 cm laterally from the right edge of the sternum

WITH HYPERTROPHY OF THE RIGHT VENTRICLE, THE BORDER OF THE HEART

• remain at the same level

• shift upwards

• shift to the right

• shift to the left

• shift to the left and down

THE WIDTH OF THE VASCULAR BUNDLE IS NORMALLY

• 2-3cm

• 4.5-6 cm

• 6-10 cm

• 12-15 cm

• 1.5-2 cm

WHAT DISEASE IS CHARACTERIZED BY AORTIC CONFIGURATION OF THE HEART

• dilated cardiomyopathy

• aortic stenosis

• mitral valve insufficiency

• pericarditis

• mitral stenosis

THE LEFT BORDER OF RELATIVE CARDIAC DULLNESS IS NORMALLY DETERMINED

• along the mid-clavicular line in the 5th intercostal space on the left

• medially 0.5-1.5 cm of the mid-clavicular line in the 5th intercostal

• laterally 1 cm to the left of the mid-clavicular line in the 5th intercostal

• in the 4th intercostal space along the left edge of the sternum

• in the 6th intercostal space along the anterior axillary line

THE UPPER BORDER OF RELATIVE CARDIAC DULLNESS IS NORMALLY DETERMINED

• in the 2nd intercostal space along the left parasternal line

• in the 2nd intercostal space along the right parasternal line

• in the 4th intercostal space along the parasternal line

• in the 2nd intercostal space along the mid-clavicular line

• in the 3rd intercostal space along the parasternal line

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE LOCATION OF THE LEFT BORDER OF RELATIVE CARDIAC DULLNESS WITH HYPERTROPHY OF THE LEFT VENTRICLE

• shift to the right

• shift to the left

• shift up

• shift to the right and down

• remain at the same level
