Assessment of Right Ventricular Structure and Function in Pulmonary Hypertension
Right ventricular function plays an important role in determining cardiac symptoms and exercise capacity in chronic heart failure. It is known that right ventricle has complex anatomy and physiology. The purpose of this review paper is to demonstrate the best assessment of the right ventricle with current echocardiography. Echocardiography can assess sufficiently right ventricular structure and...
متن کاملReal-Time Three-Dimensional Echocardiography to Assess Right Ventricle Function in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension
BACKGROUND The convenience and availability of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) makes it an attractive candidate for assessing right ventricle function. However, the viability of RT3DE is not conclusive. AIM OF STUDY This study aims to evaluate RT3DE relative to cardiac magnetic resonance and 2-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) for measuring right ventricular systolic fun...
متن کامل[Clinical utility of computed tomography in diagnosing sinus venosus atrial septal defect].
We present a case of 51-year-old patient after surgical closure of atrial septal defect several years ago. Enlarged right ventricle, right atrium and pulmonary hypertension were found on routine transthoracic echocardiography. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed sinus venosus atrial septal defect. Partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage was suspected. Only the computed tomography with...
متن کاملPulmonary Hypertension and Cardiovascular Sequelae in 54 Dogs
Records for 54 dogs with pulmonary hypertension were retrospectively reviewed. The severity of disease was classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on the estimated peak right ventricular/pulmonary artery pressures using spectral Doppler echocardiography. Pressure was estimated using tricuspid/pulmonary valve regurgitant jets. In dogs classified as mildly or moderately affected, the most c...
متن کاملShould right ventricle dilatation during exercise have clinical implications in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension? Case report
We describe the case of a 30-year-old female patient with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension that has an excellent functional capacity under treatment with sildenafil. She did an exercise stress echocardiography that revealed marked right ventricular dilatation during exercise. This information was used for clinical decision and the authors discuss the potential utility of this echoc...
