M-mode and tissue Doppler remain practical for RV assessment; leaves open validation of strain and 4D methods.
Which echocardiographic techniques are most useful for assessing right ventricular function in clinical practice?
This review highlights that M-mode and tissue Doppler velocities remain the most practical echocardiographic tools for assessing right ventricular function, while advanced techniques like strain and 4D echo need further validation.
Lindqvist et al. (2007) conducted a review in Right ventricular function assessment. Echocardiography techniques was evaluated. Regional myocardial wall motion detection by M-mode and tissue Doppler velocities are currently the most useful echocardiographic methods for clinical assessment of right ventricular function.
