Key result
Two-dimensional right ventricular free wall longitudinal systolic strain using speckle-tracking echocardiography is a reproducible, feasible, and highly prognostic technique for quantifying RV function.
Why the study?
Does two-dimensional RV free wall longitudinal systolic strain improve the assessment of RV function and prognosis compared to traditional echocardiographic methods in patients with cardiovascular disease?

May refine RV prognostication in practice; leaves open head-to-head trials versus traditional parameters.
Ayach et al. (2018) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Two-dimensional RV free wall longitudinal systolic strain (RVFWS) was evaluated. Two-dimensional right ventricular free wall longitudinal systolic strain using speckle-tracking echocardiography is a reproducible, feasible, and highly prognostic technique for quantifying RV function.
