While the degree of left ventricular dilation and dysfunction are two key determinants of adverse outcomes in DCM patients, right ventricular (RV) remodeling and dysfunction further negatively influence patient prognosis. Consequently, RV functional assessment and diagnosing RV involvement by using an integrative approach based on multimodality imaging is of paramount importance in the evaluation of DCM patients and provides incremental prognostic and therapeutic information. Transthoracic echocardiography remains the first-line imaging modality used for the assessment of the RV, and newer techniques such as speckle-tracking and three-dimensional echocardiography significantly improve its diagnostic and prognostic accuracy. Nonetheless, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is considered the gold standard imaging modality for the evaluation of RV size and function, and all DCM patients should be evaluated by CMR at least once. Accordingly, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the anatomy and function of the RV, and the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and prognostic value of RV dysfunction in DCM patients, based on traditional and novel imaging techniques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcdd9100359","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,19]],"date-time":"2022-10-19T22:19:53Z","timestamp":1666217993000},"page":"359","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The Dysfunctional Right Ventricle in Dilated Cardiomyopathies: Looking from the Right Point of View"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5579-685X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria L.","family":"Iov\u0103nescu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"Clinical Emergency County Hospital of Craiova, 200642 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0500-0312","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diana R.","family":"Florescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Emergency County Hospital of Craiova, 200642 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Physiology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreea S.","family":"Marcu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"Clinical Emergency County Hospital of Craiova, 200642 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6338-2657","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ionu\u021b","family":"Donoiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"Clinical Emergency County Hospital of Craiova, 200642 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sebastian","family":"Militaru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"Clinical Emergency County Hospital of Craiova, 200642 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cristina","family":"Florescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"Filantropia Clinical Hospital, 200516 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Octavian","family":"Istr\u0103toaie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"Clinical Emergency County Hospital of Craiova, 200642 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Constantin","family":"Militaru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"Clinical Emergency County Hospital of Craiova, 200642 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"144","article-title":"Classification of the Cardiomyopathies: A Position Statement from the European Society of Cardiology Working Group on Myocardial and Pericardial Diseases","volume":"29","author":"Elliott","year":"2008","journal-title":"Eur.
