Abstract
Methodically, right heart B-mode echocardiography in older subjects is challenging. Our results suggest an ageing-associated right heart enlargement. Utilization of published right heart reference values in older adults seems to be problematic and in clinical practice, they always have to be interpreted within the clinical and functional context and in relation to other right heart echocardiographic parameters.
