Correct Answers
Choose the patient position that typically provides the best TTE left
parasternal views.
a. at a 45 degree angle
b. flat on their back
c. left lateral decubitus
d. right lateral decubitus Correct Answer-C


According to the IAC, a limited TTE should be performed when the
patient recently had a complete TTE and there is no clinical reason to
suspect changes other than the specific area of interest.
True or False? Correct Answer-True


Choose the statement that best describes the initial LAX LV.
a. acquire at an increased depth
b. include the entire cardiac structure and surroundings
c. rule out extracardiac abnormalities
d. all of the above Correct Answer-d


The only way to determine timing of the cardiac cycle is with the EKG.
True or False? Correct Answer-False

,End-diastolic and end-systolic left ventricular dimensions can be
acquired from the LAX LV.
True or False? Correct Answer-True


According to the ASE, M-mode dimensions are recommended over 2D
dimensions to avoid capturing oblique angles of the ventricle.
True or False? Correct Answer-False


When is the end diastole captured?
a. aortic valve just opened

LV dimensions should be acquired perpendicular to the structures, in a
straight line, just beyond the tips of the mitral valve leaflets, with the
