AB  - As  the  role  of  the  right  ventricle  (RV)  in  overall  cardiac  function  has  been  more  fully  appreciated,  greater  efforts  have  been  made  to  describe  and  quantify  RV  function  using  TEE  in  ways  useful  to  clinicians.  These  efforts  have  been  frustrated  by  the  non-geometric,  asymmetric  shape  of  the  chamber,  its  sequential  contraction  pattern,  and  the  obscuring  effect  of  epicardial  fat  on  RV  wall  motion  and  thickness.  In  addition,  the  RV  is  exquisitely  sensitive  to  loading  conditions,  overall  pulmonary  function,  and  the  interdependence  of  the  two  ventricles.
