Abstract
RV has historically received less attention than LV, yet RV dysfunction is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with congenital heart disease RV adaptation to disease is complex and depends on many factors. The most important factors appear to be the type and severity of myocardial injury or stress, the time course of the disease (acute or chronic), and the time of onset of the disease process As compared with the left ventricle (LV), the unique features of the RV and its complex geometry, its wider range of loading conditions and its greater heterogeneity of regional function made it difficult to find a simple, reliable, cheap and objective measure for assessment of its function.
