Right Ventricular Plasticity and Functional Imaging [PDF]

Pulmonary Circulation, 2012
Right ventricular (RV) function is a strong independent predictor of outcome in a number of distinct cardiopulmonary diseases. The RV has a remarkable ability to sustain damage and recover function which may be related to unique anatomic, physiologic, and genetic factors that differentiate it from the left ventricle. This capacity has been described in

Echocardiographic Evaluation of Right Ventricular Function [PDF]

European Journal of Echocardiography, 2002
To allow optimal patient management an ideal measure of right ventricular performance should give an accurate objective assessment of function, be practicable in everyday clinical use and provide accurate prognostic information. This review will provide the practising clinician with an understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the available ...

Echocardiographic assessment of right ventricular function in inferior wall myocardial infarction and angiographic correlation to proximal right coronary artery stenosis

Indian Heart Journal, 2013
Background: Presence of right ventricular (RV) infarction imposes a higher risk of adverse events in inferior wall myocardial infarction (IWMI). In this study, we attempted to correlate various indices of RV function assessed by echocardiography with ...

Evaluation of right ventricular longitudinal strain in pediatric patients with pulmonary hypertension by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate the association between right ventricular longitudinal strain measured by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) and right heart catheterization data in pediatric patients with pulmonary hypertension (

Right Ventricular Myocardial Adaptation Assessed by Two-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Canine Models of Chronic Pulmonary Hypertension

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening disease in dogs characterized by an increase in pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) and/or pulmonary vascular resistance.

Obese subjects show sex-specific differences in right ventricular hypertrophy [PDF]

, 2014
As right ventricular (RV) remodeling in obesity remains underinvestigated, and the impact of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction on RV hypertrophy is unknown, we aimed to investigate whether (1) sex-specific patterns of RV remodeling exist in ...

Evaluation of right ventricular function during liver transplantation with transesophageal echocardiography.

PLoS ONE, 2022
BackgroundThe pathophysiology of advanced liver cirrhosis may induce alterations in the circulatory system that may be challenging for the anesthesiologist to manage intraoperatively, and perioperative cardiovascular events are associated with worse ...

Improved ventricular function during inhalation of PGI(2) aerosol partly relies on enhanced myocardial contractility [PDF]

, 2005
Inhaled prostacyclin (PGI(2)) aerosol induces selective pulmonary vasodilation. Further, it improves right ventricular ( RV) function, which may largely rely on pulmonary vasodilation, but also on enhanced myocardial contractility.
