Imaging Right-Left Ventricular Interactions

Abstract

The impact of one ventricle on the adjacent ventricle plays a key role in cardiac function. Ventricular-ventricular interactions are based on the arrangement in-series of the circulation and common pericardium, interventricular septum, and myocardial tracts. Imaging, in particular echocardiography, plays a central role in characterizing these interactions through geometric indices, septal configuration and motion, Doppler flow, timing of events in the ventricles and alterations in strain, remodeling, and diastolic filling with altered loading of the contralateral ventricle. Although standard echocardiography techniques are usually adequate to image ventricular-ventricular interactions, recent developments in automation, post-processing, and advanced techniques (e.g., 3-dimensional) could improve detection and understanding of interventricular interactions. Imaging findings must be analyzed in the context of the pathophysiology to correctly assess and understand ventricular-ventricular interactions. This paper reviews the imaging of ventricular-ventricular interactions in acquired and congenital heart disease, demonstrating their importance in a wide array of conditions.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
