“…Recent research demonstrates that for evaluating prognosis in left ventricle (LV) dysfunction, echo derived myocardial strain value can be used as a highly sensitive marker as opposed to the LV ejection fraction (EF), since a reduction in the strain often precedes a decline in EF of patients with LV dysfunction (1,2). Since right ventricular (RV) function is increasingly recognized for its prognostic role in a wide variety of cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions, a lot of effort has been focused on investigating echo derived RV strain, especially longitudinal RV strain (3,4). However, quantitatively evaluating RV function using echocardiography is limited by the complex RV geometry, dense myocardial trabeculations, retrosternal position of the ventricle, and complex motion (5,6).…”
