A – Fractional area change of 30%
B – TAPSE 15mm
C- S’ 8 cm/s
D – Free wall strain by speckle tracking -17%

Answer - D
All of the above indicate significant RV systolic dysfunction.
Answer D – 2D strain by speckle tracking – is not one of the recommended methods to use in the routine exam owing to significant inter-vendor variability

Answer- C
Choice C – ASD – usually demonstrates RV volume overload seen in multiple views, usually with preserved systolic function. An exception is the rare form associated with abnormal BMPR2 haplotype and PH representing fewer than 5% of ASDs, or those that present VERY late.
1 – RV infarct associated with inferior MI
2 – PAH
3 - Takotsubo
4 – Acute PE
