Summary

The reliability of advanced echocardiographic and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) parameters at repeated measurements is not fully clarified. Test-retest reliability of measurements is crucial for follow-up studies and for clinical monitoring of patients to detect a significant change in ventricular performance, as well as to assess the outcome of various therapies on the size and function of cardiac structures. For echocardiography, the variability of the measurement is more complex, as it depends both on acquisition and reading variability, but also closer to the real life setting than observer variability. Much more limited data exist on the test-retest reliability of right heart parameters, i.e. right ventricle (RV), right atrial (RA) and tricuspid annulus (TA) parameters than on their observer variability and than of the equivalent left-sided parameters.

The primary aim of the study is to compare the test-retest reproducibility and agreement of advanced echocardiographic parameters of RV and RA size and function, and of tricuspid annulus (TA) size against the respective parameters obtained by conventional echocardiography and by CMR (where applicable).
