Measured at the widest transverse diameter of the basal third of the RV in end-diastole.

RV Mid Diameter (RVD2)

Measured at the level of the LV papillary muscles in end-diastole.

RV Longitudinal Diameter (RVD3)

Measured from the tricuspid annulus to the RV apex in end-diastole.

RV-Focused A4C View

All RV dimensions should be measured in the RV-focused apical 4-chamber view, not the standard A4C view.
