Abstract

Purpose of Review

Review three-dimensional echocardiographic (3DE) acquisition and analysis of the right ventricular (RV) chamber, the recommended technique by the American Society of Echocardiography guidelines.

Recent Findings

3DE acquisition and analysis of RV size and function is available in the majority of clinical echocardiographic laboratories. Recent publications showed this approach provides accurate information despite the challenging chamber anatomy and physiology, when compared to magnetic resonance imaging as reference. 3DE assessment directly measures RV volumes without geometric assumptions. Accordingly, 3DE analysis was found more accurate and reproducible than conventional 2DE methodology, which measures only surrogate parameters of RV function.

Summary

RV 3DE assessment is ready for routine clinical use and has direct implications for patient management. 3DE evaluation has the potential to expand the analysis not only to traditionally parameters of size and function, but to new indices including shape, which may become a new useful diagnostic and prognostic information.
