Summary:Aim: To identify hanges in RV structure and function studied by echocardiography Methods: All patients prospectively underwent a right heart catheterization (RHC), VQ Scan. and 2D Speckle tracking echocardiography within one hour . Conclusion: Right ventricular structure, systolic function and contractility are improved after surgical or medical treatment in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
