TLDR
RVGLS measurement, normal reference values, and the clinical importance of RVGLS are discussed; and RV global longitudinal strain (RVGLS) can be used as an objective index of RV systolic function with prognostic significance.Abstract:
Right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction has been identified as an independent prognostic marker of many cardiovascular diseases. However, there are problems in measuring RV systolic function objectively and identification of RV dysfunction using conventional echocardiography. Strain echocardiography is a new imaging modality to measure myocardial deformation. It can measure intrinsic myocardial function and has been used to measure regional and global left ventricular (LV) function. Although the RV has different morphologic characteristics than the LV, strain analysis of the RV is feasible. After strain echocardiography was introduced to measure RV systolic function, it became more popular and was incorporated into recent echocardiographic guidelines. Recent studies showed that RV global longitudinal strain (RVGLS) can be used as an objective index of RV systolic function with prognostic significance. In this review, we discuss RVGLS measurement, normal reference values, and the clinical importance of RVGLS.read more

TL;DR: Myocardial involvement due to SARS-CoV-2-infection was highly prevalent in the present cohort—even in patients with mild symptoms and appears to be characterized by specific speckle tracking deformation abnormalities in the basal LV segments.

TL;DR: In patients with HFpEF, impaired RVGLS has strong prognostic value and should be considered for systematic evaluation of RV function to identify patients at high risk for adverse events.

TL;DR: It was found that RVEF was preserved in some patients with pulmonary hypertension, and that the prognosis of these patients was similar to that of the patients with normal PAP, which emphasize the necessity of combining the right heart hemodynamic variables with a functional evaluation of the RV when trying to define the individual risk of patients with heart failure.
