Description
Ali Saad Al-Shammari and co-authors pool studies on an ultrasound measure of the heart's right side in patients facing heart surgery in a 2025 review. Weakness of the right ventricle predicts poor outcomes, but it can be hard to spot early. A strain measure from speckle tracking offers a finer read.
Ten studies with five hundred eighty-three patients were combined. The measure predicted right-side weakness with strong accuracy overall. Both sensitivity and specificity sat near four fifths, and bias checks looked clean. A threshold analysis named a best cutoff value that balanced the two. The authors conclude the measure earns a place in pre-surgery assessment, while noting the small total sample.
