Interest in evaluation of the right ventricle (RV) has increased recently. With the growth of
new echocardiographic techniques and technology, there has been a corresponding …

Echocardiographic imaging of the right ventricle has inherent challenges stemming from the
chamber's complex shape. More focus has been placed on right ventricular function recently …

Assessment of right ventricular (RV) structure and function by echocardiography has largely
been qualitative in the past. More recent approaches emphasise the quantification of RV …

Introduction: Compared with the left ventricle (LV), the right ventricle (RV) is less suited for
evaluation by echocardiography (ECHO). Nevertheless, RV ECHO-assessment has …

The right ventricle has unique structural and functional characteristics. It is now well
recognized that the so‐called forgotten ventricle is a key player in cardiovascular …

The ability to properly evaluate the right ventricular size and function can have important
consequences for clinical management and prognosis. Echocardiography is and will remain …

Importance Before the introduction of 3-dimensional echocardiography, estimations of right
ventricular (RV) size and function by echocardiography were limited to regional …

For many years, the echocardiographic quantitative assessment of right ventricular (RV)
function has been difficult owing to the complex RV anatomy. Identifying an accurate and …

Echocardiographic evaluation of right ventricular volume and function has become a subject
of growing interest with the increasing awareness of the important role of the right ventricle …

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY IS THE USUAL INITIAL TEST IN DYSPNEIC PATIENTS, but its
application to right ventricular (RV) analysis is challenging. RV evaluation involves 3 steps …
