The echocardiographic RV measures, RVGLS and RVfree correlated well with RVEFCMR , whereas correlation with TAPSE, RIMP and S' was unsatisfactory. Our findings suggest that RVGLS and RVfree are the preferred echocardiographic methods for clinical practice. RVfree is easiest to perform but RVGLS could provide incremental value in selected patients.
