Patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease make up an
increasing proportion of the total pulmonary hypertension population who bring with them …

RV function is an important component of overall heart function with prognostic value in
predicting symptomatic limitation and outcome in different cardiovascular pathologies. RV …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is highly heterogeneous and despite treatment advances it
remains a life-shortening condition. There have been significant advances in imaging …

Aims To evaluate right ventricular functional indices using 3D echocardiography (3DE)
between normal children and paediatric pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients, and to …

BACKGROUND: Right ventricular-arterial coupling (RVAC) describes the relationship
between right ventricular contractility and pulmonary vascular afterload. Noninvasive …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) causes significant morbidity and mortality in children due to
right ventricular (RV) failure. We sought to determine the effect of prostacyclin analogues on …

As the right ventricle (RV) plays an integral role in different paediatric heart diseases, the
accurate assessment of RV size and function is essential in the diagnosis, management …

BACKGROUND Right ventricular (RV) function is a major contributor to the outcome of
pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Adult studies demonstrated that regional and global …

Background The right ventricle (RV) has complex geometry and function, with motion along
three separate axes—longitudinal, radial, and anteroposterior. Quantitative assessment of …

Background Echocardiographic determination of the right ventricular end-systolic
remodeling index (RVES RI) has clinical value for the assessment of pulmonary …
