Review the apical 4-chamber view. Which of the following is most consistent with this image?

A 68-year-old patient with long-standing hypertension presents with dyspnea on exertion. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrates normal left ventricular ejection fraction. Mitral inflow Doppler shows an elevated early diastolic filling velocity (E wave). Tissue Doppler imaging at the septal annulus reveals a reduced e′ velocity. Which mitral valve Doppler measurement would best indicate increased left ventricular stiffness in this patient?

A patient’s echocardiogram demonstrates a left atrial (LA) end-systolic volume index of 72 mL/m². What is most likely to occur with this degree of left atrial enlargement?

A 62-year-old patient is undergoing an echocardiogram. To calculate 2D left ventricular (LV) mass, which of the following echocardiographic images/views are required?

On echocardiography, if the inferior vena cava (IVC) is >2.1 cm in diameter and collapses

Systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve is a hallmark finding in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Which mechanism primarily causes SAM during systole?

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) can have multiple etiologies. Which of the following is least likely to cause DCM?

Which structure, located in the right atrium, is a congenital remnant of the right valve of the sinus venosus?
