The cohort of long-term survivors of heart transplant is expanding, and the assessment of
these patients requires specific knowledge of the surgical techniques employed to implant …

Objective: This study was conducted in order to determine the reference values for right
ventricular (RV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF) using three-dimensional …

BACKGROUND: In heart transplant recipients, right ventricular (RV) dysfunction may occur
for a variety of reasons. Whether RV dysfunction in the stable phase after heart …

Purpose The present study aimed to evaluate serial changes of right ventricular (RV)
function in clinically well adult heart transplantation (HT) patients using three-dimensional …

Aims The aim of this prospective study was to use left ventricular global longitudinal strain
(LV-GLS) as a non-invasive tool for the monitoring of graft function in relation to acute …

Assessment of right ventricular (RV) function using conventional echocardiography might be
inadequate as the radial motion of the RV free wall is often neglected. Our aim was to …

Objectives This study determined the long-term prognostic significance of GLS assessed
using CMR-FT in a large cohort of heart transplant recipients. Background In heart transplant …

Objectives The prognostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT)–
derived right ventricular longitudinal strain (RVLS) post-heart transplantation has not been …

Background: Tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV) is the most widely used parameter by
transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in the evaluation of patients with suspected …

Assessment of right ventricular (RV) function is important in the management of various
forms of cardiovascular disease. Accurately assessing RV volume and systolic function is a …
