Key result
Recent three-dimensional and speckle tracking echocardiographic techniques enable advanced volumetric and functional analysis of the right atrium compared to routine methodologies.
Advanced echocardiographic techniques, including 3D and speckle-tracking, provide superior volumetric and functional assessment of the right atrium compared to traditional methods.
Right atrial 3D and speckle-tracking echo remains investigational; leaves open standardization and outcome validation before clinical adoption.
Echocardiographic assessment of the right atrium is a great challenge in present practice and only limited opportunities are available. Technical improvements in the last decades enable volumetric and functional analysis of the complex right atrial cardiac cyclic movements. The aim of the present review is to demonstrate the most recent three-dimensional and/or speckle tracking echocardiographic techniques over routine methodologies in the evaluation of the right atrium.
