For many years, the echocardiographic quantitative assessment of right ventricular (RV)
function has been difficult owing to the complex RV anatomy. Identifying an accurate and …

Background The right ventricle (RV) has an essential function in cardiovascular physiology
and pathology. Currently, it is gaining an increasing interest given its recognized role in …

Objective Incidence of right ventricular (RV) failure in septic shock patients is not well known,
and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) could be of limited value. We report …

Aims Radionuclide techniques, and recently MRI, have been used for clinical evaluation of
right ventricular (RV) volumes function (RVEF) and volumes; but with the introduction of 3D …

Assessment of right heart function remains difficult despite rapid technological
echocardiographic developments. This review addresses the anatomical and physiological …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of new quantitative
echocardiographic strain and strain-rate imaging parameters to identify abnormal regional …

The aim of the present study was to describe regional and global right ventricular (RV)
function in a wide age range of healthy subjects of both sexes. We studied 255 (125 …

RV performance is difficult to evaluate, given its geometry, interrelationship with the left
ventricle, and sensitivity to alterations in pulmonary pressure. This article focuses on some of …

Background—Patients after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) frequently have right ventricular
(RV) dysfunction and prolonged QRS duration (QRSd) and thus could be candidates for …

Background Survival after cardiac arrest depends on adequate cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR). Manual or mechanical external chest compression may be ineffective to …
