Overview
Transthoracic echocardiography plays a key role in the diagnosis of right heart failure by showing signs of right ventricular hypertrophy, tricuspid regurgitation and pulmonary hypertension.
Echocardiography
Transthoracic echocardiography plays a key role in the diagnosis of right heart failure and of the most common findings are:
- Right ventricular hypertrophy (>15mm thick at end diastole in adults)
- Right ventricle systolic dysfunction and wall motion abnormalities
- Tricuspid regurgitation
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Congenital heart diseases findings (ASD should be suspected when there is RV dilatation with RBBB on EKG. A TEE is a better modality to rule it out than TTE)
- Dilated inferior vena cava. [1][2]
