In this review article we discuss the clinical and prognostic value of echocardiographic
evaluation methods of the right ventricular function and right ventricular-pulmonary artery …

Background: Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) and pulmonary hypertension have been
recognized as two important prognostic features in patients with left side heart failure …

To date, right ventricular function can be clinically assessed by Doppler echocardiography.
Monodimensional and two-dimensional echocardiography provide information about right …

Due to its peculiar anatomic characteristics, it is easier for the right ventricle to tolerate
volume overload than pressure overload; as a matter of fact, an inverse relation between …

Symptoms of right ventricular failure include dyspnea, a reduction in exercise capacity, and
fluid retention. Right ventricular (dys) function strongly influences functional state and …

There is growing attention for the study of the right ventricle in cardiovascular disease and in
particular in heart failure. In this clinical setting, right ventricle dysfunction is a significant …

Objectives Right ventricular (RV) performance parameters (tricuspid annular plane systolic
excursion, systolic longitudinal velocity on tissue Doppler imaging, fractional area change …

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 …

Dobutamine Doppler echocardiography was carried out in 56 patients (n= 56) with ischemic
heart disease and depressed left ventricular function (left ventricular ejection fraction< 40%) …

The relationship of right ventricular function and pulmonary systolic pressure in patients with
congestive heart failure was evaluated to risk‐stratify them. The study included 147 …
