What is it about?
To evaluate right ventricular functional indices using 3D echocardiography (3DE) between normal children and paediatric pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients, and to evaluate these indices as outcome predictors in children with PH.

Why is it important?
Finding the right echocardiographic index to evaluate for right ventricular function in children with pulmonary hypertension is important in management and treatment. We are able to use this RV functional indices such as RV ejection fraction and RV strain to predict outcomes
