There is increasing recognition of the crucial role of the right ventricle (RV) in determining
functional status and prognosis in multiple conditions. The normal RV is anatomically and …

Survival in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is closely related to right
ventricular (RV) function. Although pulmonary load is an important determinant of RV …

Background: The ratios of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)/
echocardiographically measured systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PASP), fractional area …

In the last decade, there has been renewed interest in the study of the right ventricle. It is
now well established that right ventricular function is a strong predictor of mortality, not only …

Objectives: This study sought to compare cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging-
derived right ventricular (RV) strain and invasively measured pressure-volume loop-derived …

Aims Survival in pulmonary hypertension (PH) relates to right ventricular (RV) function.
However, the RV unique anatomy and structure limit 2D analysis and its regional 3D …

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is the most important determinant of survival in patients
with pulmonary hypertension (PH). The manifestations of RV dysfunction not only include …

In pulmonary hypertension (PH), right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and failure is the main
determinant of a poor prognosis. We aimed to characterize RV structural and functional …

Right ventricular dysfunction is a major determinant of outcome in patients with complex
congenital heart disease, as in tetralogy of Fallot. In these patients, right ventricular …

Right ventricular (RV) size, shape and function are distinctly load-dependent and pulmonary
load is an important determinant of RV function in patients with congestive heart failure …
