BACKGROUND: The presence of right ventricular systolic dysfunction is known to
significantly worsen prognosis of patients with heart failure. However, the prognostic impact …

Background: Right ventricular (RV) systolic function has been recognized as a prognostic
factor in endstage heart failure (HF) patients and in the present study we evaluated the effect …

Objective The prognostic impact of right ventricular systolic dysfunction (RVSD) in heart
failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) is not suffi ciently understood. This pilot …

Background: The prognostic importance of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in heart failure
(HF) has been suggested in patients with severe systolic heart failure. Tricuspid annular …

Aim To evaluate any differences in haemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters in
patients with both left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction and in patients with …

Background: Left (LV) and right (RV) ventricular diastolic dysfunction is common in heart
failure but the prognostic value of RV diastolic dysfunction is not known. Hypothesis: As a …

Background Right ventricular (RV) function has recently gained attention as a prognostic
predictor of outcome even in patients who have left-sided heart failure. Since several …

Aims To evaluate whether the clinical and echocardiographic correlates and the prognostic
significance of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are different in heart failure patients with …

In patients with advanced heart failure, the main focus has traditionally been placed on the
functional assessment of the left ventricle. Therefore, the current body of literature examining …

Little is known about the prognostic importance of right ventricular (RV) systolic and diastolic
function. The purpose of this study was to determine the prognostic power of systolic and …
