Abstract
Pathologies of the right heart and the tricuspid valve were not recognized to be of prognostic relevance for many years. Available evidence showing the progressive nature of right heart diseases with direct impact on patient survival have changed current understanding of its clinical importance. Visualization and aprofound understanding of the right heart anatomy are prerequisites for the development of modern and still experimental treatment strategies. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography enable astandardized and clear visualization and assessment of the right heart anatomy and its pathological changes.
