PY - 2016 T2 - Color Atlas and Synopsis of Echocardiography 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.
