Rigth ventricle, echocardiography.Abstract
Right ventricle echocardiographic evaluation is technically complex, affecting sometimes its quality in standard studies. This review article focuses on how to properly measure and interpretate the most commonly use echocardiographic parameters, taking into account its particularities, indications and limitations in our daily clinical practice.
