Right ventricular (RV) function has important prognostic value in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Due to complex anatomy and mode of contractility, conventional two-dimensional echocardiography does not provide sufficient and accurate RV function assessment. Currently, three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) allows for an excellent and reproducible assessment of RV function owing to overcoming these limitations of traditional echocardiography. This review focused on 3DE and discussed the following points: (i) acquisition of RV dataset for 3DE images, (ii) reliability, feasibility, and reproducibility of RV volumes and function measured by 3DE with different modalities, (iii) the clinical application of 3DE for RV function quantification.
右心室(RV)功能在多种心血管疾病中具有重要的预后价值。由于其复杂的解剖结构和收缩模式,传统二维超声心动图无法提供充分且准确的右心室功能评估。目前,三维超声心动图(3DE)克服了传统超声心动图的这些局限性,能够对右心室功能进行出色且可重复的评估。本综述聚焦于三维超声心动图,并讨论了以下几点:(i)获取用于三维超声心动图图像的右心室数据集;(ii)通过不同模式的三维超声心动图测量右心室容积和功能的可靠性、可行性及可重复性;(iii)三维超声心动图在右心室功能定量分析中的临床应用。
