Abstract
However, the human heart functions as a unit that includes the right ventricle (7,8). The spectrum of changes in structure, function and shape of the left ventricle ultimately has an effect on the structure and function of the right ventricle because the ventricles are structurally and functionally interdependent on each other. Echocardiography is a very useful and non-invasive diagnostic tool, which can be used to diagnose ventricular hypertrophy and various flow and pressure parameters in all cardiac chambers. Echocardiography in the evaluation of right ventricular function is important, as right ventricular dysfunction has been shown to correlate significantly with disease progression in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease dilated cardiomyopathy (11) and secondary pulmonary hypertension
