Introduction The systemic load on the right ventricle (RV) after Senning atrial switch leads to
ventricular dysfunction. Quantitative assessment of RV contractile reserve is mandatory to …

The accuracy of echocardiographic measures of right ventricular (RV) diastolic function has
been sparsely studied. Our objective was to evaluate the correlation between …

Background Right ventricular (RV) function is a prognostic marker of cardiac disease in
children. Speckle tracking has been developed to assess RV longitudinal shortening, the …

Background Right ventricular (RV) systolic function is an important prognostic determinant of
cardiopulmonary pathologies in premature infants. Measurements of dominant RV …

Objectives: To determine the usefulness of new two-dimensional strain indices, based on
speckle tracking imaging, for assessment of systemic right ventricular (RV) function after an …

Purpose Strain derived from speckle‐tracking echocardiography is emerging as a useful tool
in the assessment of single ventricle function. The purpose of this study is to compare layer …

Background Establishment of the range of normal values and associated variations of two-
dimensional (2D) speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE)–derived right ventricular (RV) …

Background Echocardiogram has limitations in effectively assessing right ventricular (RV)
function in children post tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair. We evaluated the utility of speckle …

To the Editor: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) was first surgically repaired in 1955. Initial TOF
repairs were performed using a trans-annular right ventricular outflow tract patch to relieve …

Background Challenges remain in quantitative evaluation of right ventricular (RV) function
by echocardiography. Multiple‐view assessment is believed to provide a more …
