Introduction: In our study, we aimed to evaluate patients with chronic obstructive lungs disease (KOAH) with no clinical right ventricle (SV) deficiency findings compared to healthy individuals with the SV geometry and their functions in rest using two-dimensional speckle-tracking. Patients and Method: The study population, which was followed by foot in 2014 at the University of Kafkas Gögus Disease Clinic, was previously diagnosed with KOAH and created by 28 patients with clinical SV deficiency and 24 healthy individuals with similar demographic characteristics. Results: The average pulmonary arterial pressure from the conventional ecocardiographic characteristics was similar among the groups of parameters except the SV free wall thickness and the SV free wall stretch parameters. In the KOAH group, SV free wall strain parameters; SV free wall basal, mid and apical strain values were found lower than the control group (for each comparison p< 0.05). A statistically significant negative correlation between the average pulmonary arterial pressure and the SV free wall basal, mid and apical strain values was followed. The result: According to the results of our study, we found that SV dysfunction in KOAH patients was detected by SV strain parameters earlier than conventional ecocardiographic methods.
