Popis: The aim – to evaluate the diagnostic possibilities of using the method of speckle-tracking echocardiography (ST-Echo) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and to compare the results with a healthy population.Materials and methods. The study included 27 patients with IPAH and 9 people who were in the control group. Both groups were comparable in age and sex. All patients underwent general clinical studies, biochemical blood tests to determine the level of N-terminal polypeptide of brain natriuretic hormone (NT-proBNP), 6-minute walk test, transthoracic and speckle-tracking echocardiography, Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), right heart catheterization (RHC) using a Swan–Gantz catheter to determine central hemodynamic parameters.Results and discussion. According to echocardiography, in patients with IPAH, TAPSE, FAC, RIMP and S‘ of the right ventricle were significantly worse than in the control group, and the rates of global longitudinal strain of the right (RV GLS) and left ventricles (LV GLS) and longitudinal strain rate of the right ventricle (RV GLSR). Using correlation analysis, it was found that the RV GLS was most strongly correlated, among others, with the distance (p
