Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Electrocardiographi c findings usually include right-axis deviation, right ventricular hypertrophy, and strain. The echocardiogram may show dilatation of the right ventricle and right atrium and tricuspid regurgitation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The most common initial symptom is dyspnea (60 of patients). Angina, probably due to under-perfusion of the right ventricle or stretching of the large pulmonary arteries, is present in approx-imately 50 of patients.
