Implication
May aid clinical RV assessment; extends Level 4 prognostic data but leaves prospective validation open.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Patients requiring evaluation of the right ventricle, including those with pulmonary hypertension and congestive heart failure
I
Intervention
Echocardiographic techniques (including fractional area of change, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, tissue S', 3-dimensional evaluation, and global longitudinal strain)
O
Outcome
Diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of right ventricular function
Advanced echocardiographic techniques enhance the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of right ventricular function, offering valuable diagnostic and prognostic insights for conditions like pulmonary hypertension and heart failure.
Cite This Study
Dutta et al. (2017) conducted a review in Right ventricular dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, congestive heart failure. Echocardiographic evaluation of the right ventricle was evaluated. Echocardiographic techniques, including 3-dimensional evaluation and global longitudinal strain, provide valuable diagnostic and prognostic data for evaluating right ventricular function.
