“…Furthermore, while the left ventricular cavity approximates to an ellipsoid model in healthy subjects, the RV is considerably more complex. The fact that the chamber poorly approximates to any convenient geometric model means that volume calculated with these models only crudely represents true volume [3][4][5]. Also, myocardial fibre architecture of the left and right ventricles is fundamentally different.…”

“…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]. The introduction of Doppler measurement of myocardial wall velocities (tissue Doppler imaging; TDI) and the recently developed strain rate imaging (SRI) technique have made a more adequate assessment of global and regional systolic and diastolic RV function possible [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…Such methods took advantage of the detectable consequences of right ventricular pressure overload on right ventricular morphology and function. For example, echocardiographic measurement of right ventricular enddiastolic dimension indexed for body surface area was reported to correlate with P pa in patients with chronic PH, but this correlation was not sufficiently robust to allow for Ppa estimation in individual patients [2][3][4]. Moreover, right ventricular dilation could be caused by its primary failure or increased preload.…”
