Measurements of right ventricular (RV) systolic strain from the apical four-chamber view by 2-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography. (A) Right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RVGLS) is calculated from the average of right ventricular systolic strain of the 6 segments: 3 RV free wall and 3 septal segments. (B) Right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS) is calculated from the average of right ventricular systolic strain of the 3 RV free wall segments.
