To describe the recent advances made in imaging of the right heart, including deformation imaging, tissue and flow characterization by resonance imaging (MRI), and molecular imaging. Recent developments have been made in the field of deformation imaging of the right heart, which may improve risk stratification of patients with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. In addition, more attention has been given to load adaptability metrics of the right heart; these simplified indices however still face challenges from a conceptual point of view. The emergence of novel MRI sequences, such as native T1 mapping, allows better detection and quantification of myocardial fibrosis and could allow better prediction of post-surgical recovery of the right heart. Other advances in MRI include four-dimensional flow imaging, which may be particularly useful in congenital heart disease or for the detection of early stages of pulmonary vascular disease. This review will place the recent developments in right heart imaging in the context of clinical care and research.
