“…This has been explained by the relative insensitivity of conventional and TDI-derived echocardiographic methods that may not be able to detect early abnormalities in longitudinal function, in contrast to strain rate imaging methods. [18][19][20][21][22][23] However, the implied superiority of strain imaging emerged almost exclusively from examinations of the left ventricle [18][19][20]24) which may not be simply transferred to the right ventricle. Moreover, although regional RV strain represents a potential means to assess myocardial contractility that is less load-dependent, there is still a lack of normative data and the measure is angle dependent with a poor-signal-to noise ratio.…”

“…13,[31][32][33] PA pressures by echocardiography were only measured in 60% of the patients, a value not dissimilar from the 44% Arcasoy et al 13 reported in a heterogeneous population with advanced lung disease undergoing lung transplant evaluation. Furthermore, our analysis showed that the correlation between CT scan-measured relative PA enlargement and invasive hemodynamics was more robust than echocardiography-measured PASP, thus, supporting CT scan as the preferred modality for the identifi cation of PH in patients with severe COPD.…”

“…T he evaluation of right ventricular (RV) function is clinically useful in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) because the presence of RV failure has prognostic implications [1,2]. All invasive and noninvasive techniques evaluating RV performance have important limitations due to the complex geometry of the right ventricle [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
