Respite for 2-Dimensional Right Ventricular Imaging?
The complex geometry and structure of the right ventricular (RV) cavity make the assessment of RV function and volumes by 2-dimensional (2D) echocardiography arduous. Highly trabeculated endocardial border and bellows-like contractile pattern are not explicitly imaged by 2D echocardiography. Furthermore, the retrosternal position of the right ventricle hinders its visualization, and minimal cha...
متن کاملImaging right ventricular shape and remodelling.
The development of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and failure is a significant clinical problem in patients with congenital heart disease or pulmonary arterial hypertension. The RV remodels when exposed to abnormal loading conditions and when the intrinsic myocardial dysfunction is present. After congenital heart surgery this remodelling process is further influenced by the effect of right ...
متن کاملRight ventricular plasticity and functional imaging
Right ventricular (RV) function is a strong independent predictor of outcome in a number of distinct cardiopulmonary diseases. The RV has a remarkable ability to sustain damage and recover function which may be related to unique anatomic, physiologic, and genetic factors that differentiate it from the left ventricle. This capacity has been described in patients with RV myocardial infarction, pu...
متن کاملSex- and Method-Specific Reference Values for Right Ventricular Strain by 2-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Despite the fact that assessment of right ventricular longitudinal strain (RVLS) carries important implications for patient diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, its implementation in clinical settings has been hampered by the limited reference values and the lack of uniformity in software, method, and definition used for measuring RVLS. Accordingly, this study was designed to establi...
متن کاملApplication of 3-dimensional speckle tracking imaging to the assessment of right ventricular regional deformation.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to carry out 3-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (3DSTI) of the right ventricle (RV) and evaluate RV regional wall deformation. METHODS AND RESULTS 3DSTI of the RV was performed in 35 normal subjects, 8 patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, and 8 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Peak systolic area change ratio and ...
