Cardiac surgeons need to fully understand an emerging spectrum of multi-modality imaging
techniques that assess different aspects of right ventricular function to better select
treatment options.

- PreviewDysfunction of the right ventricle (RV) is common in patients with advanced left-sided valve disease and the significant impact of RV dysfunction on both short and long-term outcome is well established. However, considerations of RV function are largely absent in current management guidelines for valve disease and cardiac procedural risk models. As the indications and use of trans-catheter therapies rapidly expand for patients with acquired valvular disease, it is critical for clinicians to understand and consider RV function when making decisions for these patients.
