TL;DR: Although the clinical value of RT3DE evaluation of the left ventricle is already well established, future improvements will determine whether this methodology can become the new standard reference technique for accurate and repeatable measurement of left ventricular volumes, mass, regionalleft ventricular function and dyssynchrony.

TL;DR: Early MV repair leads to near normal morphology after surgery, indicating the benefits of this procedure, and detailed serial examination of the complex relation between LV performance and shape is evaluated.

TL;DR: Transesophageal echocardiography with a prototype miniaturized monoplane probe passed transnasally is feasible, safe, and well tolerated by patients and may allow long-term echOCardiographic monitoring of ventricular performance.

TL;DR: These changes suggest that the right ventricle is stiffer in older subjects, with less dynamic contraction of the RVIT and less bellows‐like movement, which are needed to further study RV diastolic dysfunction and remodeling with disease.

TL;DR: RV dysfunction is common in patients with sarcoidosis and is usually associated with either direct LV involvement, lung disease, or PH, but may occur in the absence of these mechanisms, suggesting the possibility of isolated RV involvement and underscoring the need for imaging protocols that would include RV strain analysis.
