Right Ventricular Function 2: Echocardiographic Assessment

The purpose of this Right Ventricle series is to assist the reader in measuring both volumetric and pressure-based metrics of right ventricular performance, as well as quantifying relevant structural characteristics of the right ventricle (RV).

In this course, you will learn:

• Right ventricular function
• Preload
• Afterload
• Hypertrophy and RV size
• IVC and hepatic vein flow and pulmonary embolism
