“…Advances in three-dimensional echocardiography now offer the prospect of easier bedside measurements of RV volumes [46], and thus of ejection fraction or SV/ESV for the evaluation of RV-arterial coupling.…”

The right ventricle in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a right heart failure syndrome. In early-stage PAH, the right ventricle tends to remain adapted to afterload with increased contractility and little or no increase in right heart chamber dimensions. However, less than optimal right ventricular (RV)-arterial coupling may already cause a decreased aerobic exercise capacity by limiting maximum cardiac output. In more advanced stages, RV systolic function cannot remain matched to afterload and dilatation of the right heart chamber progressively develops. In addition, diastolic dysfunction occurs due to myocardial fibrosis and sarcomeric stiffening. All these changes lead to limitation of RV flow output, increased right-sided filling pressures and under-filling of the left ventricle, with eventual decrease in systemic blood pressure and altered systolic ventricular interaction. These pathophysiological changes account for exertional dyspnoea and systemic venous congestion typical of PAH. Complete evaluation of RV failure requires echocardiographic or magnetic resonance imaging, and right heart catheterisation measurements. Treatment of RV failure in PAH relies on: decreasing afterload with drugs targeting pulmonary circulation; fluid management to optimise ventricular diastolic interactions; and inotropic interventions to reverse cardiogenic shock. To date, there has been no report of the efficacy of drug treatments that specifically target the right ventricle. @ERSpublicationsThe compensatory adaptation of right ventricular structure and function is linked to symptoms and prognosis in PAH http://ow.ly/D5W9R

“…7D). Recent studies have confirmed that 3DE measurements of the RVEF are accurate, reproducible, and correlate well with CMR both in adults and children [20,21,27,28]. In the most recent meta-analysis aimed at exploring the accuracy of different imaging modalities (2DE, 3DE, radionuclide ventriculography, computed tomography [CT], gated single-photon emission CT, and invasive cardiac cineventriculography) for RVEF using CMR as a reference method, 3DE has proven to be the most reliable technique, overestimating the RVEF by only 1.16% with the lowest limits of agreement (form -0.59 to 2.92%) [29].…”

“…7). 3DE measurements are closely correlated (but slightly underestimate) with RV volumes measured by CMR both in children and adults [18][19][20][21], and by volumetric thermodilution during cardiac catheterisation [22]. Normative data for 3DE RV volumes and ejection fraction (EF) including age-, body size-, and sex-specific reference values based on large cohort studies of healthy volunteers have recently become available (Table 2) [23,24].…”
