In this episode, we review the assessment of right ventricular (RV) size and function. What is the normal range of RV basal diameter, mid diameter, and longitudinal diameter? What are the relative advantages and drawbacks of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), tissue Doppler peak systolic velocity S’ at the tricuspid annulus, RV fractional area change (RV FAC), and RV index of myocardial performance (RIMP)? How are they calculated? Tune in for answers to these questions.
