A Novel Mathematical/Numerical Formula for Assessing Right Ventricular Torsion Using Echocardiographic Imaging

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

Recently, the ventricular torsional parameters have received special attention because of their significant role in the ventricular systolic and diastolic function. Right ventricular (RV) rotational deformation is a sensitive index for RV performance but difficult to measure. Having assumed RV as a conic shape, the present study serves a novel mathematical formula of right ventricular rotation that uses velocity vector imaging (VVI) for quantifying RV.
