Abstract

In patients with suspected or known cardiovascular or pulmonary disease, focused cardiac ultrasonography can be used to evaluate right ventricular size and systolic function on the basis of four measures: the cavity size of the right ventricle relative to that of the left ventricle, the shape of the interventricular septum, longitudinal shortening, and change in the area of the cavity..
