AB The  assessment  of  the  right  heart  presents  many  challenges  due  to  its  unique  anatomy  and  physiology.1  In  spite  of  these  limitations,  echocardiography  remains  the  principal  imaging  method  employed  to  assess  patients  with  known  or  suspected  right  heart  disease,  especially  in  the  acute  setting.  While  other  imaging  techniques  such  as  cardiac  CT  and  MRI  have  provided  additional  tools  to  evaluate  cardiac  anatomy  and  function,  they  currently  play  a  secondary  role  in  most  clinical  settings.  MRI  is  playing  a  larger  role  in  the  assessment  of  right  ventricular  size  and  function,  especially  in  the  congenital  heart  disease  population.
