Interest in evaluation of the right ventricle (RV) has increased recently. With the growth of new echocardiographic techniques and technology, there has been a corresponding increase in the ability to evaluate the RV, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Older echocardiographic techniques, such as right ventricular fractional area of change, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, and tissue S', and newer echocardiographic techniques including 3-dimensional evaluation and global longitudinal strain, can improve our evaluation of RV function. These techniques provide both diagnostic and prognostic data on a large variety of clinical diseases including pulmonary hypertension and congestive heart failure. With the continuing and exponential advances in technology, echocardiography is well poised to become the primary modality to evaluate the RV.
近年来，对右心室（RV）评估的关注度有所提高。随着新型超声心动图技术和设备的发展，对右心室进行定性和定量评估的能力也相应增强。较老的超声心动图技术，如右心室面积变化分数、三尖瓣环平面收缩期位移和组织S'，以及包括三维评估和整体纵向应变在内的较新超声心动图技术，都能改善我们对右心室功能的评估。这些技术可为包括肺动脉高压和充血性心力衰竭在内的多种临床疾病提供诊断和预后数据。随着技术的持续和指数级进步，超声心动图有望成为评估右心室的主要方式。
