Table 1 Potential clinical applications of the ReVISION method

From: Quantification of the relative contribution of the different right ventricular wall motion components to right ventricular ejection fraction: the ReVISION method

Scenarios of clinical interest and suggested functional alterations

Healthy subjects

Normal contribution of the three components

Post-cardiac surgery patients

Potential predominance of radial displacement

Heart transplanted patients

Long-term predominance of radial displacement

Pressure overload conditions (pulmonary hypertension, acute pulmonary embolism)

Potential reduction of radial displacement

Volume overload conditions (pulmonary regurgitation, atrial septal defect)

Potential reduction of longitudinal displacement

Athlete’s heart

Effects of regular and acute exhaustive exercise

Right ventricular ischemia

Regional and/or global abnormalities

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia

Regional and/or global abnormalities

Congenital heart diseases

Depending on the pathology
