The study covered in this summary was published in medRxiv.org as a preprint and has not yet been peer reviewed. Right ventricular (RV) dilation or dysfunction in patients hospitalized with acute ...

Evidence of right heart dysfunction—especially right ventricular longitudinal strain (RVLS) on two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2-D STE)—is tightly linked to higher mortality among ...

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction has previously been linked to symptoms and mortality in pulmonary hypertension (PH), as well as in other conditions, and RV function plays an important role in ...

"This study showed that RV function, including RV strain, decreases over time despite preserved LV ejection fraction, and is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes. RV function may be more ...
