Description
Muntean, Iurian, Hagau, and Hack study how the right side of the heart deforms in children with dilated cardiomyopathy, a disease where the main chamber weakens and widens. Right side involvement is gaining attention, but its patterns were poorly defined. Their 2025 study compares 29 affected children with matched healthy controls using ultrasound strain imaging.
Both sides of the heart showed clear impairment in the patient group. Right side strain fell most near the base of the heart, a distinct pattern the authors highlight. Right side strain tracked with several left side measures. One right side strain measure predicted advanced limits on activity on its own. A combined model using both sides separated advanced cases with excellent accuracy.
