Right ventricular (RV) systolic function has an important role in the prediction of adverse
outcomes, including mortality, in a wide range of cardiovascular (CV) conditions. Because of …

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by an insult in the pulmonary
vasculature, with subsequent right ventricular (RV) adaptation to the increased afterload that …

Background Right ventricular (RV) failure in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) is
associated with unfavorable clinical events and a poor prognosis. Elevation of right atrial …

Background Right atrial (RA) imaging has emerged as a promising tool for the evaluation of
patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), albeit without systematic validation. Methods …

Aims Novel echocardiographic parameters of right ventricular (RV) function, including
speckle‐tracking‐derived, three‐dimensional, and RV–pulmonary artery coupling …

Background In pulmonary arterial hypertension, it is recommended to base therapeutic
decisions on risk stratification. This systematic review aims to report the prognostic value of …

Ultrasound (US)-based measurements of the inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter are widely
used to estimate right atrial pressure (RAP) in a variety of clinical settings. However, the …

Aim To promote the implementation of right ventricular (RV) longitudinal strain in clinical
practice, we sought to propose normal values for RV free wall (RVFWLS) and four-chamber …

Aims Right ventricular free wall (RVFWLS) and four-chamber longitudinal strain (RV4CLS)
are associated with adverse events in various patient populations including patients with …

Background and aims Increased serum uric acid (SUA) is common in type 2 diabetes
mellitus (T2DM) and is associated with left ventricular (LV) myocardial dysfunction …
