Table 4 Assessment of PSE images for presence or absence of significant LVSD by sonographic trainee vs. echocardiologist (n = 66)

From: The utility of pocket-sized echocardiography to assess left ventricular systolic function prior to permanent pacemaker implantation

 

Echocardiologist evaluation

LVSD absent (LVEF > 40 % )

LVSD present (LVEF < 40 % )

Sonographic trainee interpretation

LVSD absent (LVEF > 40%)

60 (91%)

2 (3%)

LVSD present (LVEF < 40%)

1 (1%)

3 (5%)
