RV strain analysis using the TomTec software (2D cardiac performance analysis) for RVGLS and RVFWS by speckle tracking echocardiography. Mean frame rates = 70–90 frames/s. Digitally stored for 3 cardiac cycles. Endocardial border tracking was achieved automatically using 2 points in the annular region and 1 point in the apical segments. Tracking quality was visually verified. Segments that failed initial tracking were manually adjusted. Segments that could not be tracked properly after manual adjustment were rejected. RV GLS strain was measured from the average value of the longitudinal peak systolic strain of the RV free wall and the RV septal wall in the apical 4 chamber view. LVEF: Left ventricular ejection fraction. RVFAC: Right ventricular fractional area change. RVFWS: Right ventricular free wall strain. RVGLS: Right ventricular global longitudinal strain
