Echocardiogram Basic Step 18 Part 4 Parasternal Short Mitral Papillary Apex 1. In order to help you with orientation so that you correctly identify the myocardial segments, what must you first identify in the parasternal short axis mitral valve level view?*A. Mitral valveB. Papillary muscleC. Interventricular septumD. Right ventricle2. Clinical utilities of the parasternal short mitral valve level views are all except:*A. Assessment of global LV size and functionB. Detailed assessment of the LV apexC. Assessment of the pericardiumD. Assessment of mitral valve leaflets3. In the presence of right ventricular pressure and/or volume overload, in diastole, the interventricular septum will be:*A. MidlineB. Pushed towards the right ventricleC. Pushed towards the left ventricleD. Will fluctuate4. The papillary muscle level is useful to ICU to check for:*A. Global LV and RV functionB. Kinetics of the interventricular septumC. The pericardial spaceD. All of the above5. At the parasternal short apical level, LV function is generally:*A. UnderestimatedB. OverestimatedC. Can not be determinedD. Very accurate
