Yes I will... I will be using GE, however Philips is fairly similar
Hello, thank you for that video. What is the difference between FAC and Simpson? I mean why couldn't we just put in Simpson for RV?

Hello! Fractional area change is a measurement based in areas and Simpsons is a measurement based in volumes. Because the very difficult shape of the RV, we don't normally measure EF for the RV.
Please we want video to How to optimization TR signal to measure RVSP

That would be a great video... However the answer is bubbles!!!! 😜
Suppose the FAC is 30% then what is the predicted RV E F ?

FAC is a different measurement from ejection fraction... Normally we don't measure EF of the RV (because of its complicated anatomy) and we use some other measurements to assess RV systolic function: FAC, Tissue Doppler, TAPSE.
