Key result
Two-dimensional iRotate echocardiography was feasible for assessing the right ventricle from a single transducer position in 98% of healthy subjects and 100% of patients.

Is transthoracic 2D iRotate echocardiography feasible for comprehensive assessment of the right ventricle from a single transducer position?
2D iRotate echocardiography is a feasible and potentially time-saving method for comprehensive assessment of the right ventricle from a single transducer position.
McGhie et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy and diseased right ventricles (n=140). Two-dimensional (2D) iRotate echocardiography was evaluated on Feasibility to assess the right ventricle from one single transducer position. Two-dimensional iRotate echocardiography was feasible for assessing the right ventricle from a single transducer position in 98% of healthy subjects and 100% of patients.
