echo workbook 47-67

Choose the statement that best supports the SAX LV

• unnecessary view

• right ventricle should be larger than the left ventricle

• left ventricle should be oblong, not round

• demonstrates all of the left ventricular walls simultaneously

A good place to start searching for the apical window is along the left sternal side border at the 4th intercostal space.

• true

• false

choose the walls best visualized from the 4C

• Inferior & Anterio

• Anteroseptal, apical & Inferoseptal

• Anterolateral, apical & Inferoseptal

• Inferolateral & anteroseptal

Which statement supports the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)?

• Simple but good estimate of right ventricular global function

• a measure of the peak diastolic longitudinal motion of the tricuspid valve annular motion

• not angle dependent

• not load dependent

TAPSE < 17 mm indicates decreased right ventricular function

• True

• False

A good place to start searching for the apical window is along the left sternal border at the 4th intercoastal space

• True

• False

Right ventricular dilatation is reported if the right ventricle is larger than the left ventricle, or if the basal diameter is < 41 mm and the mid diameter is < 35 mm

• True

• False

Answer explanation

This is a normal variation

Choose the statement that supports the right atrial single plane area-length volume

• Acquire from the 4C with emphasis on the right heart

• include the right atrial major dimension

• Include the right atrial area via planimetry

• all of the above

Biplane method of disk summation provides a reliable estimate of right ventricular volume and LVEF

• True

• False

Answer explanation

right ventricular volume

Biplane method of disk summation provides a reliable estimate of the left ventricular volume and LVEF

• True

• False
