Key result
Multimodality RV imaging reflects stress response and is linked to outcomes across cardiovascular diseases.
Why the study?
Understanding RV anatomy and physiology helps appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of imaging methods and contextualize how RV adaptation to stress impacts outcomes across cardiovascular diseases.
This review highlights the importance of multimodality imaging in assessing right ventricular function and its prognostic value across various cardiovascular diseases.

May improve right heart assessment in select cases; leaves open larger validation trials before practice change.
Right ventricular (RV) size and function assessed by multimodality imaging are associated with outcomes in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Understanding RV anatomy and physiology is essential in appreciating the strengths and weaknesses of current imaging methods and gives these measurements greater context. The adaptation of the right ventricle to different types and severity of stress, particularly over time, is specific to the cardiovascular disease process. Multimodality imaging parameters, which determine outcomes, reflect the ability to image the initial and longitudinal RV response to stress. This paper will review the standard and novel imaging methods for assessing RV function and the impact of these parameters on outcomes in specific disease states.
