Advances in the imaging techniques of the heart have fueled the interest in understanding of right heart pathology. Recently, speckle tracking echocardiography has shown to aid in understanding various right heart diseases and better management. Its role is well established in diagnosing right heart failure, pulmonary artery hypertension, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia and congenital heart disease. We review the basic mechanics of speckle tracking and analyze its role in various right heart conditions.
心脏成像技术的进步激发了人们对了解右心病理学的兴趣。最近,斑点追踪超声心动图已被证明有助于了解各种右心疾病并实现更好的管理。其在诊断右心衰竭、肺动脉高压、致心律失常性右心室发育不良和先天性心脏病方面的作用已得到充分确立。我们回顾了斑点追踪的基本原理,并分析了其在各种右心疾病中的作用。
