During the last decade, studies have raised awareness of the crucial role that the right ventricle plays in various clinical settings, including diseases primarily linked to the left ventricle. The assessment of right ventricular performance with conventional echocardiography is challenging. Novel echocardiographic techniques improve the functional assessment of the right ventricle and they show good correlation with the gold standard represented by cardiac magnetic resonance. This review summarizes the traditional and innovative echocardiographic techniques used in the functional assessment of the right ventricle, focusing on the role of right ventricular dysfunction in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and providing a perspective on recent evidence from literature.
在过去十年中，多项研究提高了人们对右心室在各种临床环境中所起关键作用的认识，这些临床环境包括主要与左心室相关的疾病。用传统超声心动图评估右心室功能具有挑战性。新型超声心动图技术改善了对右心室的功能评估，并且它们与以心脏磁共振为代表的金标准显示出良好的相关性。本综述总结了用于右心室功能评估的传统和创新超声心动图技术，重点关注右心室功能障碍在射血分数降低的心力衰竭中的作用，并对文献中的最新证据提供了一个观点。
