Background:Right heart failure is an important cause of perioperative morbidity and mortality, and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is crucial for its diagnosis. However, only four of the 20 cross-sectional views recommended in current guidelines for intraoperative TEE focus on the right heart. This study analyzed whether incorporating additional views into the standard TEE examination improves assessment of the right heart. Methods:Sixty patients underwent standard TEE examination after…

Update on Perioperative Right Heart Assessment Using Transesophageal Echocardiography
TLDR
Right heart failure continues to contribute to morbidity and mortality in the context of cardiothoracic surgery and the advent and widespread clinical use of innovative tools permitting more accurate echocardiographic assessment will open the door to renewed interest in novel therapeutic strategies.
Transesophageal echocardiography in thoracic anesthesia: pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular function
TLDR
Routine use of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography in major thoracic surgery is not advocated yet, but the development of automated techniques may provide an objective assessment of RV function.
Estimation of pulmonary artery pressure with transesophageal echocardiography
TLDR
Assessment of the difference in systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sysPAP) measuring both, invasively sysPAP and estimated RVSP with TEE in 3 different views found the best agreement between the 2 methods was found in patients with severe TR and in the ME RV inflow-outflow and the modified bicaval view.

Assessment of tricuspid annulus: anatomic and echocardiographic correlation
TLDR
Echocardiographic values of tric Suspid annulus dimension have a good predictive value to detect surgically assessed annular dilatation and may help identify patients who require surgical tricuspid intervention.
Right Ventricular Systolic Assessment by Transesophageal Versus Transthoracic Echocardiography: Displacement, Velocity, and Myocardial Deformation.
TLDR
Right ventricular displacement, velocity, and myocardial deformation measured by TEE versus TTE are different; Neither alternative transesophageal echocardiography views nor speckle tracking-based deformation is promising; TAPSE by speckled tracking is unbiased but imprecise.
Peri‐operative assessment of right heart function: role of echocardiography
TLDR
While a number of techniques are available for the assessment of the right heart intra‐operatively, echocardiography remains the prime choice being least invasive, relatively safe, readily accessible and cost‐effective.
The use of multimodality cardiovascular imaging to assess right ventricular size and function.
Comprehensive pulmonary valve imaging by transesophageal echocardiography
TLDR
This issue of the Journal, Taskesen et al have attempted to in‐ vestigate the feasibility of using the upper esophageal aortic arch in pulmonary valve imaging, and suggest that adequate echocardiographic imaging should be complemented by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography.
Pulmonary valve assessment by three-dimensional echocardiography.
TLDR
3D echocardiography en face view allows all three leaflets to be evaluated concurrently, as well as assessments of the RV outflow tract and main pulmonary artery, which has improved quantitative assessment of PV diseases.

Precardiopulmonary Bypass Right Ventricular Function Is Associated with Poor Outcome After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients with Severe Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction
TLDR
For patients with severe LVSD undergoing CABG, pre-CPB RV dysfunction was associated with poor outcome, whereas patients with RVFAC ≤35% had a poor early and late outcome.
Acute Hypovolemia May Cause Segmental Wall Motion Abnormalities in the Absence of Myocardial Ischemia
TLDR
It is documented that acute reduction in cardiac filling can be associated with new systolic wall motion abnormalities detected by transesophageal echocardiography in the absence of documented myocardial ischemia, which indicates that segmental wall motion may not be a valid marker for ischemIA in the setting of acute hypovolemia.
