Last MCQ Answer - B. Atherosclerosis. Widened mediastinal silhouette, increased aortic knob, and tracheal deviation seen in the chest x-ray image is suggestive of thoracic aortic aneurysm., etiology being Atherosclerosis.A 5-year-old boy is brought to the hospital after a resuscitated cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation. A chest x-ray reveals cardiomegaly, and EKG reveals Q waves in precordial leads. Transthoracic echocardiography reveals a dilated and hypokinetic left ventricular anterior wall, moderate mitral regurgitation, and dilated right coronary artery. Cardiac MRI reveals prominent collaterals in left coronary artery distribution with the right to left flow and left ventricular anterolateral subendocardial myocardial fibrosis. Cardiac catheterization shows the contrast directly emptying into the left ventricle upon left coronary intubation. The most common etiopathogenesis of this phenomenon is related to the etiopathogenesis of which of the following conditions?1.Patent ductus arteriosus2. Coronary AV fistula3.Aortic dissection following blunt chest trauma4.Coronary artery diseaseEnrol to Revision series to get access. Subscribe here today - and get access to QuickLearn, GT and Daily tests in addition to Patho Videos

NEET ??

Hello Students,I am sure you wondering what to do now? Variables in the exam200 questions - 3.30 hours - Likely to have more long stem questionsNo subject weightage - likely all the one liners will be outdated now, hopefully you wont have any data/fact based questions. How shall we tackle this ? (Will be there for all revision series users) From today onwards we shall have more long stem questions in the Finishline - Daily tests Shall ask the faculties giving questions to integrate the questions more efficiently Time - 45 seconds per question (In your exam you will have one minute per question approx)GT has to be changed from now again. The next 3 GT -  shall reset the questions and make it more lengthy. Hopefully it will help us more. Do not worry - The patterns will change slightly and you will have little hiccups in the preparation.  Do your routine preparation as usual.  We shall go ahead and try to better it with more questions.. Personal Take - I feel this pattern should be a boon for future students, where understanding of the subject will be tested rather than facts and figures. Do let me know anytime if NBE comes up with a format or sample questionAll will end well. ! Best wishesDr. Ranjith AR
