Evaluation of right ventricular free wall strain (RVFWS) and left atrial reservoir strain (LASr) by the semi-automated software (a, b) and manual (c, d) software for strain analysis. Upper panels: using the RV-specific (a) and LA-specific (b) software, the RV and LA myocardium are automatically recognized, segmented and tracked, the strain curves are displayed and the strain values calculated. Lower panels: using the manual method, the LV-specific software is used for RV (c) and LA (d) strain analysis, and the strain curve and value are obtained for each myocardial segment. The RVFWS is calculated by averaging the strain values of three RV myocardial segments
