Abstract:
This review focused on right ventricular (RV) three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) and discussed the following agenda. First, we summarized the clinical RV anatomy and function-related RV3DE use followed by the explanations about 3DSTE image acquisition, including pitfall. Next, we reviewed the reliability and feasibility of RV volume and RV ejection fraction measurements during the last decade. Besides, we described the techniques that might overcome the dropout images at RV anterior and out tract including the current limitations. Finally, speckle tracking echocardiography by RV3DE and novel RV shape assessment were reviewed. This review will help you get comprehensive information on the current status and future perspectives of RV3DE.

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...
