Abstract:
Echocardiographic assessment of the right atrium is a great challenge in present practice and only limited opportunities are available. Technical improvements in the last decades enable volumetric and functional analysis of the complex right atrial cardiac cyclic movements. The aim of the present review is to demonstrate the most recent three-dimensional and/or speckle tracking echocardiographic techniques over routine methodologies in the evaluation of the right atrium.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for...
