The RV has historically been underrepresented in the medical literature exploring cardiac
structure, function, and pathophysiology. Early research fostered the misconception that the …

Abstract Purpose of Review This review attempts to summarize the role of standard and
advanced echocardiographic techniques together with CMR in the evaluation of the RV in …

Until recently, the right ventricle (RV) received little attention in adult patients with congenital
heart disease and even less attention in the setting of acquired heart failure. However, in the …

Right ventricular (RV) function is a powerful prognostic factor in congestive heart failure and
pulmonary hypertension, but assessing RV function is a challenge because of the right …

There is increasing recognition of the crucial role of the right ventricle (RV) in determining
functional status and prognosis in multiple conditions. The normal RV is anatomically and …

Not long ago the right ventricle (RV) was considered an ''unnecessary''part of the normal
circulation. While factually correct—ablation or replacement of the RV free wall can be well …

It has taken a long time for the prognostic needle to shift, but there seems to be a plethora of
evidence supporting the premise that right ventricular (RV) measures provide the best …

Right ventricular failure is the subject of renewed attention as the importance of RV function
in a variety of disease states has been recognized. The RV is highly compliant, and is able …

2 Rudski and Fine RV Strain vs TAPSE in Heart Failure of myocardial acoustic markers,
variability between different vendor software analysis systems, and a lack of normative data …

Right ventricular (RV) function is a major determinant of prognosis and adverse outcomes in
patients with heart failure (HF). It is largely unknown if HF with mildly reduced ejection …
