Three-Dimensional Echocardiography Assessment of Right Ventricular Volumes and Function: Technological Perspective and Clinical Application

Right ventricular (RV) function has important prognostic value in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Due to complex anatomy and mode of contractility, conventional two-dimensional echocardiography does not provide sufficient and accurate RV function assessment. Currently, three-dimensional echoca...

Sumario:Right ventricular (RV) function has important prognostic value in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Due to complex anatomy and mode of contractility, conventional two-dimensional echocardiography does not provide sufficient and accurate RV function assessment. Currently, three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) allows for an excellent and reproducible assessment of RV function owing to overcoming these limitations of traditional echocardiography. This review focused on 3DE and discussed the following points: (i) acquisition of RV dataset for 3DE images, (ii) reliability, feasibility, and reproducibility of RV volumes and function measured by 3DE with different modalities, (iii) the clinical application of 3DE for RV function quantification.
