Right ventricular function assessment using tissue Doppler imaging and speckle tracking echocardiography [PDF]
Modern echocardiographic techniques, i.e. tissue Doppler imaging and speckle tracking echocardiography, allow for an assessment of global and regional right ventricular function. The right ventricular myocardial performance index and tricuspid annulus

Right ventricular dyssynchrony: from load-independent right ventricular function to wall stress in severe pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
Right ventricular (RV) dyssynchrony has been related to outcome in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Prospectively, we performed echocardiography with measurement of right ventricular dyssynchrony and pressure–volume loop catheterization in 27 pulmonary ...

A review was made of 69 cases manifesting congestive right-side heart failure among 1, 910 cases who had undergone cardiac catheterization at the Department of Pediatrics, Tenri Hospital. Hemodynamic and angiographic studies were made in 32 cases which had undergone corrective surgery of tetralogy of Fallot at ages between l to 14 more than 2 years ...

Tissue Doppler imaging following paediatric cardiac surgery : early patterns of change and relationship to outcome [PDF]
In this study, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) was used to assess changes in ventricular function following repair of congenital heart defects. The relationship between TDI indices, myocardial injury and clinical outcome was explored.

Describing right ventricular function [PDF]
In pulmonary hypertension and other conditions, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome and left heart failure, right ventricular dysfunction is a prognostic determinant. Therefore, functional parameters pertaining to the right heart alone,i.e.independent of its loading conditions, should be used to quantify right ventricular disease progression ...

Right Ventricular Plasticity and Functional Imaging [PDF]
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]
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 ...

Importance of Cx43 for Right Ventricular Function [PDF]
In the heart, connexins form gap junctions, hemichannels, and are also present within mitochondria, with connexin 43 (Cx43) being the most prominent connexin in the ventricles. Whereas the role of Cx43 is well established for the healthy and diseased left ventricle, less is known about the importance of Cx43 for the development of right ventricular (RV)
