1. Early detection in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension is pivotal. When deciding who to screen, there are a various number of factors. One of the factors in screening is if the patients resting mPAP is between:*

15-1821-2430-3341-44
2. Which of the following is an example of early detection testing for PAH?*

Noninvasive CPETExercise catheterizationInvasive CPETAll of the above
3. Which of the following represents Pulmonary Arterial Compliance?*

The ratio of stroke volume to pulse pressureThe ratio between transpulmonary gradient, divided by the cardiac outputAlters depending on the ability of the vasculature, to recruit in response to the increase in stroke volume that happens during exerciseBoth B and C
4. Which of the following exercise tests for PAH does not generate the same degree of cardiac output increase which can then provide a falsely elevated PVR?*

Isolated handgrip exercisesCycle ergometerArm exercisesSix-minute walk test
5. True or False: Historically, most of the exercise data for pulmonary hypertension has been tested with a bicycle.*
