About this Exam

Prepare with the Cert Cardiology(SA) Paed Practice Questions - CMSA Sub-specialty Certificate in Cardiology Cert Cardiology(SA) Paed Exam practice quiz. This question bank includes 100 questions covering year-old, presents, child, left, and ventricular. Use it to review important concepts, identify knowledge gaps, and build confidence for the related exam, course, or assessment.

Sample Questions

Question 1
A 3-month-old infant with a known perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) is evaluated on follow-up echocardiography. The defect size has decreased from 6 mm to 2 mm. Which anatomical structure is primarily responsible for the spontaneous closure or reduction in size of perimembranous VSDs?
Tricuspid valve septal leaflet tissue and pouch formation
Hypertrophy of the crista supraventricularis muscle bundle
Prolapse of the right coronary cusp of the aortic valve
Growth of the muscular ventricular septum
Question 2
An asymptomatic 4-year-old child is referred for evaluation of a cardiac murmur discovered during a routine check-up. Auscultation reveals a wide, fixed splitting of the second heart sound (S2) and a 2/6 mid-systolic ejection murmur at the upper left sternal border. What is the underlying cause of the wide, fixed split S2?
Delayed closure of the aortic valve during expiration
Persistent volume overload of the right ventricle causing delayed closure of the pulmonary valve regardless of respiration
Equal right and left ventricular stroke volumes throughout the respiratory cycle
Severe pulmonary hypertension delaying the A2 component
Question 3
A 28-week premature infant weighing 950 grams develops bounding peripheral pulses, a hyperdynamic precordium, and a continuous machinery murmur at the left infraclavicular area on day 4 of life. Chest radiography shows cardiomegaly and pulmonary plethora. Before initiating intravenous ibuprofen for ductal closure, which clinical condition represents an absolute contraindication?
Mild respiratory distress syndrome requiring nasal CPAP
Serum bilirubin of 120 micromol/L
Active necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) or intestinal perforation
Platelet count of 180,000 /microliter
Question 4
A newborn with trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) undergoes a screening electrocardiogram (ECG) on day 2 of life. The ECG demonstrates a superior QRS axis (-60 to -120 degrees) with counterclockwise frontal loop rotation and first-degree AV block. Which congenital cardiac lesion is most strongly associated with these ECG findings?
Isolated Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Coarctation of the Aorta
D-Transposition of the Great Arteries
Complete Atrioventricular Septal Defect (AVSD)
Question 5
A 10-day-old infant is brought to the emergency department in severe circulatory shock with tachypnea, poor perfusion, and profound metabolic acidosis. Femoral pulses are absent, whereas brachial pulses are palpable. Echocardiography confirms severe coarctation of the aorta with closure of the ductus arteriosus. What is the immediate first-line medical intervention?
Continuous intravenous infusion of Prostaglandin E1 (Alprostadil)
High-dose intravenous furosemide bolus
Intravenous sodium bicarbonate bolus
Immediate administration of digoxin
