Right ventricular dysfunction represents a common problem in patients with congenital heart
defects, such as Tetralogy of Fallot or pulmonary arterial hypertension. Patients with …

As the right ventricle (RV) plays an integral role in different paediatric heart diseases, the
accurate assessment of RV size and function is essential in the diagnosis, management …

Background While numerous indices have been developed in an attempt to quantify
ventricular function in patients with single ventricle heart disease after Fontan, there are little …

Although elevated right ventricular pressure and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
measured by echocardiogram are independent predictors of death in adults with sickle cell …

Aims Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is a measure of right ventricular
(RV) longitudinal function that correlates with functional status and mortality in adults with …

Objective Pulmonary hypertension (PH) has been described in the neonatal omphalocele
population. This study was aimed to describe cardiac function and PH severity using …

Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) reflects longitudinal myocardial
shortening, the main component of right ventricular (RV) contraction in normal hearts. To …

Background Echocardiographic follow-up after pediatric heart transplantation is important
because of the lifelong risk for rejection and resultant ventricular dysfunction. Although adult …

Objective: Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is an echocardiographic
measurement used for evaluating right ventricular systolic function. While established …
