Background: Right ventricular (RV) myocardial work (RVMW) is the latest method used to assess RV function. To date, correlations among RVMW indices and RV systolic and diastolic functions have not been studied.
Methods: A total of 106 healthy volunteers (median age, 34 years; 46% male) were prospectively enrolled. RVMW indices were measured using the RV pressure-strain loop using specific software. The correlations among RVMW indices and other RV functions were analyzed.
Results: During the multivariate analysis, the RV global work index (RVGWI) was significantly correlated with RV global longitudinal strain (RV GLS) (p < .0001), pulmonary systolic artery pressure (PASP) (p < .0001), and tricuspid annular (TA) plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) (p = .036). RV global constructive work (RVGCW) was correlated with RV GLS (p < .0001) and PASP (p < .0001). RV global wasted work (RVGWW) was correlated with RV GLS (p = .008) and TA isovolumetric acceleration (TA IVA) (p = .008). RV global work efficiency (RVGWE) was correlated with RV GLS (p < .0001) and tissue Doppler (TD) RV myocardial performance index (TD RMPI) (p = .043).
Conclusion: RVMW indices showed good correlations with RV myocardial systolic function.

Background: Right ventricular myocardial work (RVMW) assessed by transthoracic echocardiography allows to study the right ventricular (RV) function using RV pressure-strain loops. The assessment of these novel indexes of RVMW has not yet been exten sively studied, namely in pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) population.
Objectives: to evaluate the relationship between RVMW and invasive indices of right heart catheterization (RHC) in a cohort of patients with group I and group IV PH and to compare with a control group without PH.

Objective: The noninvasive right ventricular pressure-strain loop (PSL) represents a novel method for the quantitative assessment of right ventricular myocardial function. Given that atrial septal defect (ASD) is a prevalent congenital heart anomaly associated with right ventricular volume overload, this study aimed to quantitatively assess the myocardial function of the right ventricle in ASD patients pre- and post-occlusion by noninvasive right ventricular PSL.
Methods: This study included 36 patients diagnosed with secundum ASD group and 30 healthy adults (control group).

Article Synopsis
- * In a study involving 29 ASD patients and 29 controls, RVMW indicators like RV global work index (RVGWI) and RV global constructive work (RVGCW) were significantly higher in ASD patients, suggesting increased RV workload.
- * The findings indicate that RVMW metrics are reliable predictors of RV function in ASD patients, correlating well with measurements obtained from right heart catheterization, outperforming traditional measures like RV global longitudinal strain (RV GLS).

Background: Non-invasive right ventricular (RV) myocardial work (RVMW) is the latest indicator used to assess RV function. Nevertheless, the physiological determinants of RVMW have not been studied, and reference ranges for normal RVMW indices have yet to be established.
Methods: A total of 263 healthy volunteers (median age: 34 years, males: 38%) were prospectively enrolled.
