Advances in the imaging techniques of the heart have fueled the
interest in understanding of right heart pathology. Recently, speckle
tracking echocardiography has shown to aid in understanding various
right heart diseases and better management. Its role is well established
in diagnosing right heart failure, pulmonary artery hypertension,
arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia and congenital
heart disease. We review the basic mechanics of speckle tracking
and analyze its role in various right heart conditions.
