Abstract

This review attempts to summarize the role of standard and advanced echocardiographic techniques together with CMR in the evaluation of the RV in HF, providing an outlook on the recent evidence. In the last decade, there has been growing interest in the study of the RV, and it is now widely established that RV function is a strong predictor of mortality, in several cardiovascular diseases, in particular in the setting of heart failure (HF). The evaluation of RV function might be particularly challenging, which justifies the necessity of multi-modality imaging. The echocardiographic assessment remains the mainstay technique even though it might be complex, due to RV crescent shape and its position in the chest, requiring both qualitative and quantitative parameters. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) represents a complementary exam which is particularly useful when precise structural and functional assessment are needed, considering the most recently developed sequences. Despite the technological improvement attested over the last years, there is still no universally accepted parameter that univocally defines RV function, hence the necessity to evaluate several parameters, combining different imaging techniques.
