Anteroposterior Contraction of the Systemic Right Ventricle – Underrecognized Component of the Global Systolic Function

AbstractAccurate echocardiographic evaluation of the systemic right ventricle is challenging due to its specific morphology and contraction patterns. We present detailed multimodality assessment of the systemic right ventricle, analyse relative contribution of the longitudinal, radial and anteropost...

Description
Summary:AbstractAccurate echocardiographic evaluation of the systemic right ventricle is challenging due to its specific morphology and contraction patterns. We present detailed multimodality assessment of the systemic right ventricle, analyse relative contribution of the longitudinal, radial and anteroposterior components of systolic function, and identify reasons for potential discrepancy between imaging modalities.
