Association of Subclinical Right Ventricular Dysfunction With Obesity
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2006 The purpose of this research was to identify the determinants of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in overweight and obese subjects.Right ventricular dysfunction in obese subjects is usually ascribed to comorbid diseases, especially obstructive sleep apnea. We used tissue Doppler imaging to identify the determinants of RV dysfunction in overweight and
