Advanced echocardiographic imaging for the assessment of RV function. Top left panel (A)—right ventricular longitudinal strain. Top right panel (B)—3D right ventricular ejection fraction. Lower panels (from left to right)—2D multi-plane echocardiography (approximate degrees of electronic rotation, RV wall visualized): C—RV-focused apical four-chamber view (0°, lateral wall); D—coronary sinus view (+40°, anterior wall); E—aortic view (−40°, inferior wall); F—coronal view (−90°, inferior wall and RVOT). Adapted from Bowen et al.9 with permission. RV, right ventricle; LV, left ventricle; CS, coronary sinus; AoV, aortic valve; RVOT, right ventricular outflow tract.
