Teamwork using strain imaging in the echocardiographic assessment of right ventricular systolic function: A cardiac magnetic resonance imaging correlation study

ConclusionsThe RV strain parameters showed moderate correlations with CMR ‐derived RVEF and appropriately influenced echocardiographic interpretation of RV systolic function. “Wisdom of the crowd” applied by averaging echocardiographic assessments of RV systolic function across teams of echocardiography readers, further improved echocardiographic assessment of RV sy stolic function.
