Advances in the research on the evaluation methods for the right ventricular function

Right heart hemodynamics play a crucial role in the circulatory system. Biochemical indicators and clinical trials can only evaluate the right ventricular function indirectly. Imaging techniques, such as echocardiography, nuclide blood pool imaging, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, increase the objectivity, accuracy, and comprehensiveness of the evaluation of the right ventricular function. To obtain a comprehensive understanding of the technology for evaluating the right ventricular function, the author reviews the application of the abovementioned inspection methods in such evaluations.
