Right and left ventricular dysfunction are commonly encountered in
pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary hypertension exerts pressure load on the
right ventricle, subsequent RV-LV interactions through shared septum,
pericardium and blood supply lead to LV dysfunction. The early detection
and treatment of pulmonary hypertension is crucial to improve outcomes
of pulmonary disorders. New advanced echocardiographic techniques such
as pulmonary artery circumferential strain and pulmonary artery blood
speckle tracking might help in replacing invasive hemodynamics, for
early detection of pulmonary vasculopathy in pulmonary disorders.
