Echocardiography of the right heart

 
Abstract:

This post is also available in: English Slovenščina (Slovenian)

The paper deals with the right heart, an issue rarely discussed in the cardiologic literature. Despite the avaible imaging techniques, evaluation of the right heart and the right ventricle in particular still poses many problems, which are mostly due to the complex geometry of the right ventricle and its retrosternal position. In spite of some technical limitations, two-dimensional echocardiography has become the foremost diagnostic method for examining the right heart. Doppler echocardiography also plays a very important role in the noninvasive assessment of velocity of blood flow through the tricuspid and pulmonary valves as well as in the determination of the pulmonary artery pressure. The paper outlines a systematic approach to the evaluation of the normal right heart, which provides a basis for echocardiographic studies of the right heart pathologies.
