The right ventricle is often overlooked at the bedside — yet RV dysfunction is a critical driver of morbidity and mortality in acutely ill patients, particularly those with pulmonary embolism. Point-of-care ultrasound gives clinicians a rapid, repeatable way to identify RV strain at the bedside, guide urgent management decisions, and monitor a patient’s response to treatment in real time.

In this webinar, Dr. Magdy Imam explores the role of POCUS in detecting and assessing right ventricular dysfunction, with a focus on suspected pulmonary embolism. He will walk through the sonographic findings that signal RV compromise, demonstrate the core measurements used to evaluate RV size and systolic function, and discuss how serial imaging can be used to follow the effectiveness of management. Early recognition of RV dysfunction can be life-saving and helps clinicians avoid preventable complications — this session is designed to build the practical confidence needed to make that assessment at the point of care.

Learning objectives:

1. Explain the importance of early detection of right ventricular dysfunction and its impact on patient morbidity and mortality.
2. Assess right ventricular size and systolic function using point-of-care ultrasound.
3. Apply basic RV measurements to support bedside clinical decision-making.
4. Recognize the sonographic findings of right ventricular dysfunction, including those associated with pulmonary embolism.
