Heart function assessment from the physicians

Categories Incorrect answer
LVEF (n = 291)a 58 (19.9%)
<  30% (n = 23) b 8 (34.8%)
30–54% (n = 73) 18 (24.7%)
≥ 55% (n = 195) 32 (16.4%)
RV enlargement and paradoxical septal motion (n = 291) 9 (3.1%)
Yes (n = 21) 4 (19.0%)
No (n = 270) 5 (1.9%)

aThe proportion of wrong answers on LVEF was higher than on RV dysfunction, p < 0.001

b The proportion of incorrect answers in patients with LVEF< 30% was the highest,

while the proportion of incorrect answers in patients with LVEF≥55% was the lowest, p < 0.001

LVEF left ventricular ejection fraction, RV right ventricle
