The size of the ventricles of the heart is important to establish during the clinical echocardiographic examination. Due to the complex anatomy of the right ventricle, it is difficult to measure its size at times. One of the most frequently used ways is to measure the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT1), probably due to its good reproducibility. However, in the literature different ways are described to measure RVOT1, both at different sites and using different methods such as M-mode and 2D. The first aim of the present study was to exam if there is a significant difference in the outcome of RVOT1 using different sites and methods to measure it. The second aim was to study if there is a significant difference between the usually preferred left lateral decubitus position during the echocardiographic examination and the supine decubitus position, which the echocardiographer sometimes can be compelled to use if the patient is unable to lie in the left lateral decubitus position.
