AB  - The  right  ventricle  (RV)  is  a  very  unique  chamber  whose  importance  has  been  neglected  in  the  past;  hence,  it  is  frequently  given  the  name  the  “forgotten  ventricle.”  For  many  years,  primary  emphasis  was  placed  on  left  ventricular  (LV)  physiology,  thus  overshadowing  the  study  of  the  RV.  In  recent  years  more  efforts  have  been  made  to  describe  and  quantify  RV  function  using  transesophageal  echocardiography  (TEE)  in  ways  useful  to  clinicians.1,2  Such  efforts  have  been  limited  by  the  nongeometric,  asymmetric  shape  of  the  chamber;  its  sequential  contraction  pattern;  and  the  obscuring  effect  of  epicardial  fat  on  RV  wall  motion  and  thickness.
