Scenarios of clinical interest and suggested functional alterations | |
---|---|
Healthy subjects | Normal contribution of the three components |
Post-cardiac surgery patients | Potential predominance of radial displacement |
Heart transplanted patients | Long-term predominance of radial displacement |
Pressure overload conditions (pulmonary hypertension, acute pulmonary embolism) | Potential reduction of radial displacement |
Volume overload conditions (pulmonary regurgitation, atrial septal defect) | Potential reduction of longitudinal displacement |
Athlete’s heart | Effects of regular and acute exhaustive exercise |
Right ventricular ischemia | Regional and/or global abnormalities |
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia | Regional and/or global abnormalities |
Congenital heart diseases | Depending on the pathology |
