Background The prognosis of chronic heart failure has been studied extensively, but factors
predicting short-term outcome in patients with severe chronic heart failure are still poorly …

Background Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is an important predictor of impaired
prognosis in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Aims To determine the prognostic role of RV …

Background Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is common in heart failure and is an
important predictor of prognosis and mortality. Less attention has been paid to right …

Background Right ventricular function may be reduced in patients with idiopathic dilated
cardiomyopathy (IDC). The prognostic implications of right ventricular dysfunction have not …

Background Evidence for the role of right ventricular (RV) function is emerging in patients
with heart failure of different etiologies. Studies conducted in dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) …

Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) was known as a conventional predictor of heart
failure (HF). However, early transmitral flow velocity (E)/early diastolic velocity of mitral …

Aims The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of left ventricular systolic
function on the survival in a large consecutive cohort of patients hospitalized with congestive …

Aims Heart failure (HF) has a poor prognosis. Several right ventricular (RV)
echocardiographic parameters have been proposed as sensitive markers to detect patients …

We included studies that analyze the relationship between RV function and outcome in adult
patients with chronic LV systolic dysfunction ([LVSD] of ischemic or nonischemic origin) …

Aims: We sought to assess whether the peak systolic and diastolic tricuspid annular
velocities as indicators of the right ventricular systolic and diastolic function are of prognostic …
