Evaluation of Right Ventricular Diastolic Function

Abstract

Echocardiography plays an important role in the evaluation of right ventricular (RV) function. Importantly, noninvasive indices of RV diastolic function are associated with worse outcomes in patients with pulmonary hypertension and chronic heart failure. There are several diseases associated with RV diastolic dysfunction, including group I pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease, pulmonary embolism, right ventricular ischemia or infarction, and cardiomyopathies. Echocardiographic assessment of RV diastolic function relies on several two-dimensional and Doppler variables. This chapter reviews the noninvasive indices of RV diastolic function, including their correlation with RV filling pressures.
