FAC, fractional area change; RA, right atrial; RVD1, right ventricular basal diameter in diastole; RVD2, right ventricular mid-point diameter in diastole; RVD3, right ventricular length in diastole; RVED, right ventricular end-diastolic area, obtained from the RV-optimised apical 4-chamber view; RVOT distal, right ventricular outflow tract at the level of the pulmonary valve from the parasternal short axis window; RVOT proximal, proximal right ventricular outflow tract obtained from the parasternal short axis view.
