Abstract:
Pathologies of the right heart and the tricuspid valve were not recognized to be of prognostic relevance for many years. Available evidence showing the progressive nature of right heart diseases with direct impact on patient survival have changed current understanding of its clinical importance. Visualization and a profound understanding of the right heart anatomy are prerequisites for the development of modern and still experimental treatment strategies. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography enable a standardized and clear visualization and assessment of the right heart anatomy and its pathological changes.

Types of Echocardiography
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...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
