A clearer way to prepare

How ABIM Cardiovascular Disease practice tests work

Practice in an exam-like environment, immediately see what you answered correctly or incorrectly, and use step-by-step explanations to understand why.

You are in control

Choose how you practice for the ABIM Cardiovascular Disease exam

Everyone studies differently. Choose the mode that matches your current preparation goal, then change modes as your confidence grows.

Timed practice mode

Rehearse pacing under the same time limit—or time per question—you can expect on the actual ABIM Cardiovascular Disease exam.

Untimed practice mode

Work without a countdown while you build subject knowledge, consider each answer carefully, and identify areas that need more review.

Explanation mode

Reveal answers and explanations as you progress. Use each question as a guided study opportunity before moving into timed practice.

ABIM Cardiovascular Disease sample question

See how an exam-style question and its explanation appear in the Exam Edge practice environment.

As the cardiologist on call in the emergency department you are asked to evaluate a 68-year-old man presenting with 6 hours of progressive chest discomfort and diaphoresis. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management?

Presentation

  • 68-year-old man with 6 hours of pressure-like substernal chest pain radiating to left arm
  • History of hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, prior percutaneous coronary intervention to the LAD 5 years ago

Current Medications

  • Aspirin 81 mg daily
  • Atorvastatin 40 mg nightly
  • Metformin 1000 mg twice daily
  • Lisinopril 20 mg daily

Vital Signs

  • BP 145/88 mm Hg
  • HR 98 bpm
  • RR 18/min
  • SpO2 96% on room air
  • Temp 36.7°C

Physical Examination

  • Alert, uncomfortable appearing
  • Lungs clear to auscultation
  • Cardiac exam: normal S1, S2, no murmur
  • No peripheral edema

Laboratory Results

  • High-sensitivity troponin I: 0.18 ng/mL (reference <0.04) on arrival
  • Repeat troponin 1 hour: 0.32 ng/mL
  • Creatinine 1.1 mg/dL
  • Potassium 4.3 mEq/L

ECG Findings

  • Sinus rhythm at 98 bpm
  • 1–2 mm ST-segment depressions in V4–V6 with T-wave flattening
  • No pathologic Q waves

Echocardiography Findings

  • Transthoracic echocardiography performed in ED
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction 45%
  • Hypokinesis of the anterolateral and apical segments

Clinical Course

  • Chest pain persists despite sublingual nitroglycerin and morphine
  • Received 300 mg aspirin chew and high-intensity statin in ED
Correct Answer:
Proceed with an early invasive strategy: urgent coronary angiography with intent to perform percutaneous coronary intervention within 24 hours.

why rrect: this patient has an acute coronary syndrome consistent with non–st-elevation myocardial infarction (rising troponins) with ongoing ischemic chest pain, dynamic ecg changes (st depressions v4–v6), regional wall motion abnormality on transthoracic echocardiography, and prior coronary disease—features that place him in a high-risk category. guideline-directed care for high-risk nstemi supports an early invasive strategy with coronary angiography and revascularization (usually within 24 hours) because it reduces ischemic complications and facilitates definitive treatment of culprit lesions. his renal function is acceptable for contrast use, and persistent ischemic symptoms despite medical therapy make urgent angiography appropriate.

why the other answers are incorrect: answer b: conservative medical management with delayed stress testing is appropriate for low-risk patients; this patient is high risk (ongoing pain, rising troponin, ischemic ecg, wall motion abnormality), so delay risks infarct extension. answer c: fibrinolytic therapy is indicated for st-elevation myocardial infarction when timely pci is unavailable; it is not indicated for nstemi with st depressions and would expose him to bleeding risk without benefit. answer d: urgent cabg is not first-line when pci is feasible and anatomy is unknown; angiography is needed first to define coronary anatomy and determine whether pci or cabg is indicated.
