Best Cardiologist Prometric Exam MCQs Book 2025

1) Cardiac Rehabilitation Programmes

Question:
Cardiac rehabilitation programmes aim to consider the psychological and social implications of CHD as well as the practical lifestyle and medication measures involved in secondary prevention. Which one of the following steps would not be an appropriate part of a cardiac rehabilitation programme?

A. Assessment with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)
B. Assessment of quality of life using the Dartmouth CO-OP Scales
C. Assessment of quality of life using the Borg Scale
D. Support for economic, welfare, and housing issues

✅ Correct Answer: C. Assessment of quality of life using the Borg Scale

Explanation:
The Borg Scale measures perceived exertion, not quality of life.
It rates exertion from 6–20 or on the CR10 scale (0–10), corresponding roughly to heart rate ×10.
Other listed assessments (HADS, Dartmouth CO-OP, and welfare support) are standard parts of a cardiac rehabilitation programme.

2) Ticagrelor – Side Effects and Pharmacology

Question:
Which of the following is not true about ticagrelor?

A. Ventricular pauses are a known side effect that usually decrease over time and are rarely symptomatic
B. Dyspnea occurs early (in 10–15%) and usually resolves within a week
C. Dyspnea and ventricular pauses are thought to be mediated by interference with adenosine reuptake
D. Ticagrelor is a twice-daily, reversible ADP antagonist, and its antiplatelet effects end within 12 hours of discontinuation

✅ Correct Answer: D.

Explanation:
Although reversible, ticagrelor’s antiplatelet effects last up to 5 days after stopping chronic therapy.
It should be withheld for at least 5 days before non-emergent surgery.
Side effects such as dyspnea and ventricular pauses result from adenosine reuptake inhibition.
The PLATO trial showed a significant reduction in cardiovascular death, MI, and stroke with ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel.

3) Drugs That Produce Weight Gain

Question:
Which of the following drugs produce weight gain?

A. Thiazolidinediones
B. Insulin
C. Glinides
D. All of the above

✅ Correct Answer: D. All of the above

4) Contraindicated Medication in Ventricular Tachycardia

Question:
A 50-year-old man presents with broad complex tachycardia (BP 100/70, pulse 170 bpm). Which of the following medications is contraindicated?

A. Magnesium
B. Amiodarone
C. Verapamil
D. Procainamide

✅ Correct Answer: C. Verapamil

Explanation:
The patient likely has ventricular tachycardia (VT).
While magnesium, amiodarone, and procainamide can be used cautiously, verapamil is contraindicated due to its negative inotropic effect, which can cause severe hypotension.

5) β-Blocker Management in Pulmonary Oedema

Question:
A 50-year-old woman with heart failure (on ramipril, frusemide, and bisoprolol) presents with pulmonary oedema. HR = 120 bpm, BP = 125/65 mmHg.
What is the next best step in management?

A. Increase diuretics and maintain β-blocker dose
B. Increase diuretics, reduce β-blocker dose
C. Increase diuretics, increase β-blocker dose
D. Increase diuretics, stop β-blockers and restart later

✅ Correct Answer: A. Increase diuretics and maintain β-blocker dose

Explanation:
If a patient is already on β-blockers, they should be continued during decompensation while increasing diuretics.
β-blockers are not initiated for the first time during acute pulmonary oedema.

6) Role of Cardiac MRI in Myocardial Infarction

Question:
A 54-year-old obese woman with an acute MI and poor echocardiographic images undergoes cardiac MRI. What can cardiac MRI assess?

A. Myocardial salvage
B. Microvascular obstruction
C. Extent of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE)
D. All of the above

✅ Correct Answer: D. All of the above

Explanation:
Cardiac MRI (CMR) with LGE is widely used to detect myocardial injury, fibrosis, and infarct size.
It helps predict recovery of contractility, evaluate prognosis, and visualize microvascular obstruction, thrombus, and salvaged myocardium.

7) Indication for Permanent Pacemaker

Question:
Which of the following patients should receive a permanent pacemaker?

A. 40-year-old man with third-degree AV block, 1.5 s asystole
B. 40-year-old man with type II second-degree AV block, escape rate 30 bpm, asymptomatic
C. 40-year-old man with Lyme disease and transient AV block
D. 40-year-old man with chronic asymptomatic trifascicular block and first-degree AV block

✅ Correct Answer: B.

Explanation:
Permanent pacing is indicated in advanced second-degree or third-degree AV block with:

• Asystole ≥3 seconds, or

• Escape rate <40 bpm, even if asymptomatic.
  In Lyme disease, AV block is usually temporary, not requiring pacing.
  Trifascicular block needs pacing only if associated with higher-degree block.

8) Essential Post-MI Medications

Question:
A 56-year-old man post-MI (EF 40%) is on simvastatin, aspirin, clopidogrel, metoprolol, and losartan but cannot afford all. Which medications are essential for survival?

A. All of them
B. All except clopidogrel
C. All except losartan
D. All except clopidogrel and losartan

✅ Correct Answer: C. All except losartan

Explanation:
ACE inhibitors, not ARBs, have proven mortality benefit post-MI (per SOLVD trial).
If ACEIs are contraindicated, ARBs may be used, but they do not improve mortality independently.

9) Pulmonary Hypertension – Echocardiographic Interpretation

Question:
An elderly patient’s echocardiogram shows moderately elevated RV systolic pressure. Which statement is true?

A. Normal atrial size suggests left heart cause
B. Lung disease is uncommon
C. Thrombus in pulmonary arteries confirms chronic thromboembolic PH
D. Referral from a rheumatologist may indicate underlying systemic disease

✅ Correct Answer: D.

Explanation:
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) can result from left heart disease, lung disease, or connective tissue disorders.
Referral from a rheumatologist may suggest autoimmune or systemic disease–related PH.
Proximal thrombus can occur in situ in dilated arteries due to sluggish flow.

10) Hypertension Management in Black Diabetic Patients

Question:
What is the drug of choice to treat hypertension in a Black patient with diabetes mellitus?

A. Diuretic or Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB)
B. ACE Inhibitor (ACEI)
C. Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB)
D. Any of the above

✅ Correct Answer: A. Diuretic or CCB

Explanation:
For Black patients with diabetes, thiazide diuretics or calcium channel blockers are preferred initial therapy.
ACEIs or ARBs are added if there is renal disease or proteinuria.
