Importance Before the introduction of 3-dimensional echocardiography, estimations of right
ventricular (RV) size and function by echocardiography were limited to regional …

Right ventricular (RV) size and function are important predictors of cardiovascular morbidity
and mortality in patients with various conditions. However, non-invasive assessment of the …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive disease affecting patients across the life
span. The pathophysiology primarily involves the pulmonary vasculature and right ventricle …

Background Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) evaluation of right ventricular (RV)
volumes and ejection fraction (EF) is increasingly used for clinical serial assessments and …

Recent inroads into percutaneous-based options for the treatment of tricuspid valve disease
has brought to light how little we know about the behavior of the right ventricle in both health …

Blood flow within the ventricle can provide important information on the performance of the
heart. The determined blood flow structures are used to extract flow biomarkers to quantify …

Background Evaluation of left atrial (LA) size and function is important in congenital and
acquired pediatric cardiac disease. Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) …

While the current definition of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is still based on haemodynamic
variables, transthoracic echocardiography is the most important diagnostic clinical tool for …

Background: Right ventricular (RV) function plays a vital role in the prognosis of patients with
chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). We used new machine learning …

Accurate knowledge of right ventricle (RV) volumes and ejection fraction is fundamental to
providing optimal care for pediatric patients with congenital and acquired heart disease, as …
