Pulmonary regurgitation usually leads to right heart dilatation and eventually right heart dysfunction, which is associated with a poor prognosis. Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement is a developing treatment for pulmonary valve dysfunction that can take the place of traditional surgery and make up for the shortcomings of a large injury. Echocardiography plays a significant role in assessing ventricular function; however, conventional echocardiographic parameters have several limitations. Speckle tracking echocardiography has been regarded as a more accurate tool for quantifying cardiac function than conventional echocardiography. Therefore, the aim of this review was to summarize the application of speckle tracking echocardiography for evaluating right and left ventricular functions in patients after transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement.
