Sonosim Core Cardiology Questions with
Detailed Verified Answers
Which statement regarding the echocardiographic assessment of
left ventricular ejection fraction is correct?
⼀Answer:- normal function equates with an ejection fraction of 55
to 70%, severely reduced function corelates with an ejection fraction
of 30% or less, studies have documented that clinicians can
qualitatively classify left ventricular systolic function as normal, mile-to-
moderately reduced, and severely reduced with reasonable precision,
modern echocardiography machines have automated methods of
calculating ejection fraction, provided a good quality cardiac image
with clear endocardial border definition is obtained
Which features characterize an epicardial fat pad?
⼀Answer:- None of the above
T/F In order to obtain a parasternal short-axis view of the base of
the heart, starting from the mid-ventricular parasternal short-axis
view, one would maintain the same transducer position and tilt the
handle of the transducer towards the patients left shoulder.
⼀Answer:- false
Which of the following regarding the subcostal four-chamber view
is correct?
⼀Answer:- it is a very helpful view for detecting and assessing the
hemodynamic significance of pericardial effusion
Which statement is incorrect?
