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
b. left ventricle at largest dimension
c. left ventricle at smallest dimension
d. mitral valve just opened Correct Answer-B
What is the normal range for the left ventricular diastolic wall thickness?
Correct Answer-6-10mm (male)
What is the normal range for the left ventricular internal dimension
diastole (female)? Correct Answer-38-52mm
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the % of the left ventricular
size reduction from diastole to systole.
True or False? Correct Answer-False
Choose the statement that best describes strain imaging.
, a. adds info about global and regional function
b. longitudinal strain via speckle tracking is very useful
c. precision and expert timing are essential
d. all of the above Correct Answer-D
What is the equation for ejection fraction? Correct Answer-EF% =
[(LVIDV - LVISV)/LVIDV] x 100
Normal end-diastolic right ventricular wall thickness is 6-10mm
True or False? Correct Answer-False
Right ventricle is more anterior, more trabeculated, more triangular, and
larger than the left ventricle.
True or False? Correct Answer-False
Which statement supports the end-diastolic right ventricular outflow
tract proximal diameter?
a. acquire from the anterior right ventricular wall to interventricular
septal-aortic junction
b. normal range = 1-5 mm
c. required for the fractional shortening calculation
d. all of the above Correct Answer-A
LV dimensions should be acquired perpendicular to the structures, in a
straight line, just beyond the tips of the mitral valve leaflets, with the
