Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a cause of increased morbidity and mortality in both
cardiac surgery and noncardiac surgery and in the intensive care unit. Early diagnosis of this …

Assessment of right ventricular (RV) structure and function by echocardiography has largely
been qualitative in the past. More recent approaches emphasise the quantification of RV …

Aims Right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS) has been proposed as an
accurate and sensitive measure of right ventricular function that could integrate other …

Right ventricular function strongly predicts cardiac death and adverse cardiac events in
patients with cardiac diseases. However, the accurate right ventricular assessment by two …

Aims To evaluate the prognostic impact of pre-procedural right ventricular longitudinal strain
(RVLS) in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) undergoing transcatheter edge …

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, progressive disease with a poor prognosis.
The pathophysiologic model is mainly characterized by an afterload mismatch in which an …

Aims Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is frequently (30%) associated
with right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, which increases morbidity and mortality in these …

Background Right ventricular (RV) function is important in the evaluation of cardiac function,
but its assessment using standard transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) remains …

Aims Although comprehensive assessment of right ventricular (RV) function using multiple
echocardiographic parameters is recommended for management of patients with non …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined as resting mean pulmonary artery pressure≥ 25
mmHg and is caused by multiple etiologies including heart, lung or other systemic diseases …
