We analyzed by speckle tracking technique the deformation of the longitudinal muscular fibres of the free wall of the RV (Fig. 26.2).

Fig. 26.2RV free wall deformation evaluated by speckle tracking technique in a patient with SSc. There is a reduced deformation of the free wall (white arrow) and a paradoxical deformation of its apical segment (red arrow). Personal case

The apical segment of the RV showed a reduced systolic longitudinal deformation compared with the basal segments (Fig. 26.3). In normal persons there is a more important systolic longitudinal deformation of the RV basal segments than of the apical ones [25].
