Part I. Evaluation of Right Ventricular Global and Regional Volume and Systolic Function in Normal Adults Using Real-time Three-Dimensional Echocardiography
Objective:To evaluate the value of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) in assessment of right ventricular (RV) global and regional volume and systolic function, and to explore the characteristics of RT3DE parameters in normal adults.
Methods:RT3DE images were acquired from53normal adults for evaluation and analysis to obtain RV global and regional end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), systolic volume (SV) and ejection fraction (EF) in three compartments (inflow, body and outflow). The RV dyssynchrony parameters were calculated as the standard deviation (SD) and maximum difference (dif) of time to minimum systolic volume (Tmsv) and Tmsv corrected by heart rate (Tmsv%) in three RV compartments. Conventional echocardiographic parameters including RV diameters and areas were calculated and recorded.
Results:RT3DE images were successfully acquired and analyzed in51(96%) normal adults. Higher RV global and regional (body and outflow) EDV and SV, higher global and regional ESV and lower inflow EF were found in the male group when compared with the female group (all P<0.05).There was no significant difference in dyssynchrony parameters between the male and female subjects. It was found that EDV and SV in the inflow compartment were the highest in the three compartments of the right ventricle (all P<0.05), and the difference of regional EF were ordered from larger to smaller as inflow>outflow>body (all P<0.05). The differences among global and regional Tmsv and Tmsv%were not significant. RV global EDV was positively correlated with RV end-diastolic diameters and area (all P<0.05). RV global ESV was positively correlated with RV end-systolic diameters and area (all P<0.05). RV global SV was positively correlated with RV stroke volume. Intra-and inter-variability of RT3DE parameters was relatively low。
Conclusions:In normal adults, there were distinct characters of regional volume and systolic function in the three compartments of the right ventricle, with certain differences between males and females. Evaluation of RV global and regional volume and systolic function using RT3DE method was found to be of relatively high accuracy and reproducibility.

RV global EF and EF in the inflow compartment were positively correlated with RV fractional area change (r=0.656,0.757, both P<0.05). Intra-observer and test-retest variability of RT3DE parameters was relatively low。
Conclusions:In healthy Beagle dogs, there were distinct characters of regional volume and systolic function in the three compartments of the right ventricle; evaluation of RV global and regional volume and systolic function using RT3DE method was found to be of relatively high accuracy and reproducibility, and the present research provide a basis for further study of the changes in the right ventricle in canine models.
