Abstract
Noninvasive assessment of RV function nowadays, is mainly priority on 3-Dimensional echocardiography. 3D Echocardiography overcomes the difficulties in estimating RV volumes and function in different diseases. RV is systemic pumping chamber, facing increasing after load in CHD, cardiomyopathies, pulmonary hypertension. Difficult anatomy on the RV with heavy trabecularization make determination of blood-endocardial border difficult, missing of axis of symmetry complicate the task of geometry remodeling. Despite all these difficulties assessing RV volumes and function is crucial in the clinical management in patients with CHD. The Recommendations suppose assessing on RV function- volumes and EF to perform with 3D echocardiography. The results from different studies showed very high correlation on the results from MRI data assessing. The method is very simple, fast and with high accuracy to perform RV volumes and EF.
