Abstract
Echocardiography is an important technology for evaluation of right ventricular function.Some traditional technologies such as 2 - dimensional and frequency spectrum Doppler are not ideal for clinical evaluation of right ventricular function.With the rapid technological developments,tissue Doppler imaging,strain and strain rate,three real- time dimensional echocardiography are gradually applied to evaluate the right ventricular function.This article reviews the characteristics and application of these echocardiographic techniques used currently in evaluating right ventricular function.
