I confirm that I either attended the live webinar on 19 August 2026 or viewed the on-demand webinar prior to completing these CPD questions and claiming CPD points.:: Yes
1. Which statement best reflects the 2025 ASE guidelines approach to prognostication in pulmonary hypertension?:: A. RVSP alone provides adequate prognostic informationB. TAPSE alone should determine PH prognosisC. No single echocardiographic measurement fully predicts outcomeD. RA area should replace all RV functional measurementsE. RV strain should only be used when TAPSE is normal
2. Which statement about RV fractional area change (FAC) is TRUE?:: A. FAC reflects only longitudinal RV contractionB. FAC includes the RVOT contribution to systolic functionC. FAC is measured from the parasternal long-axis viewD. FAC incorporates longitudinal shortening and radial thickeningE. FAC does not include the interventricular septum
3. Which RVOT Doppler finding is most characteristic of increasing pulmonary vascular impedance?:: A. Progressive prolongation of RVOT acceleration timeB. Development of a midsystolic notch ("W sign")C. Increasingly parabolic flow profile with a mid-systolic peakD. Increased RVOT VTI with no change in contourE. Delayed peak pulmonary flow velocity
4. According to the 2025 ASE guideline, which mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) is considered abnormal and meets the updated hemodynamic definition of pulmonary hypertension?:: A. ≥ 15 mm HgB. ≥ 18 mm HgC. > 20 mm HgD. ≥ 25 mm HgE. > 30 mm Hg
5. Which statement best describes the principal advantage of RV free-wall strain (RVFWS) compared with six-segment RV global longitudinal strain (RVGLS)?:: A. RVFWS is derived exclusively from the RV free wallB. RVFWS includes more LV myocardiumC. RVFWS is more dependent on Doppler angleD. RVFWS includes the interventricular septumE. RVFWS measures only radial contraction
6. A patient has a TAPSE of 1.2 cm. How is RV systolic dysfunction graded according to the 2025 ASE guideline?:: A. NormalB. MildC. ModerateD. SevereE. Indeterminate
7. Which echocardiographic finding is most supportive of pulmonary hypertension (PH) when the resting peak TR velocity is 2.8 m/s?:: A. Normal RV size and normal RA pressureB. Isolated mild left atrial enlargementC. At least two additional echocardiographic signs suggestive of PHD. TAPSE >1.7 cm aloneE. MPA diameter <2.5 cm
8. RV end-diastolic area is 32 square centimetres and RV end-systolic area is 24 square centimetres. What is the RV fractional area change?:: A. 20%B. 25%C. 30%D. 35%E. 40%
9. A patient with systemic sclerosis has a visually dense TR jet. From one apical window the peak TR velocity is 2.7 m/s, from an alternative optimized window it is 3.1 m/s. RAP is estimated at 8 mm Hg. Which value should be used to calculate RVSP?:: A. 2.7 m/s because it was obtained from the standard apical viewB. The average of 2.7 and 3.1 m/sC. 2.7 m/s because the lower velocity minimizes overestimationD. 3.1 m/s because the highest velocity from optimized windows should be usedE. Neither value because TR velocity cannot be used in systemic sclerosis
10. Which approach is recommended for measuring right atrial volume in routine clinical practice?:: A. Biplane method of discs from apical 4- and 2-chamber viewsB. Area-length method, as it yields the smallest volumesC. 3DE multi-beat full-volume acquisition in all patientsD. Linear major dimension alone, indexed to BSAE. Single-plane method of discs from an RA-focused apical 4-chamber view
