RV function is key in critically ill patients, especially when mechanically ventilated. Echocardiography is very suitable for the evaluation of RV function, allowing to easily appreciate the preload, the afterload, and the pericardium. Three views, with five parameters, are mandatory, by TTE or TEE: the RV outflow track (respiratory variation

Xenon alters right ventricular function
Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2008Background: In contrast to other volatile anesthetics, xenon produces less cardiovascular depression with fewer fluctuations of various hemodynamic parameters, but reduces cardiac output (CO) in vivo. Besides an increase in left ventricular afterload and reduction of heart rate, an impairment of the right ventricular function might be an additional ...

Assessment of right ventricular function
Heart, 2008The right ventricle has traditionally received less consideration than the left ventricle. In recent years this interest has increased with the recognition of the critical role of right ventricular performance in determining the clinical outcome and decision-making in patients with both clinical heart failure and congenital heart disease. In this issue

Angiographic right and left ventricular function in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
The American Journal of Cardiology, 2004We prospectively documented right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fractions in a large series of patients with arrhythmogenic RV dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C). Eighty-five patients with ARVD/C and 11 controls underwent 2 successive orthogonal right and left monoplane x-ray-digitized cineangiographies.

Right ventricular function in Steinert's disease
International Journal of Cardiology, 2013Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD), also known as Steinert's disease, is the most autosomal dominant muscular dystrophy in adults with a prevalence of 1 to 8000 individuals (1). This disease is characterized by a multisystem disorder. MD is caused by a CTG expansion in the 3'- untranslated region of a protein kinase gene.

Assessment of right ventricular function
Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2009To emphasize the importance and clinical implications of right ventricular function assessment in many situations encountered by intensivists and to explain in practical terms how to perform such an assessment at the bedside.Assessment of right ventricular function requires a full understanding of the physiology of the right ventricle.

Right ventricular function in Chagas disease
International Journal of Cardiology, 1983To study right ventricular function, we performed cardiac catheterization, and right and left cineventriculograms in 60 chagasic patients and 15 non-chagasic, non-heart disease patients. Chagasic patients with normal electrocardiograms and left cineventriculograms also had normal right ventricular function.

Evaluation of Right Ventricular Function
Current Cardiology Reports, 2011Right ventricular (RV) function is a powerful prognostic factor in congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, but assessing RV function is a challenge because of the right ventricle's complex geometry, its extreme sensitivity to loading conditions, and a limited understanding of underlying mechanisms of right heart failure.

Right-ventricular function by nuclear cardiology
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2010Right-ventricular (RV) function has both diagnostic and prognostic relevance; thus the ability to accurately evaluate and quantify the RV is critical. Nuclear techniques provide an accurate and reproducible assessment of RV systolic function. Additionally, nuclear techniques can assess RV physiology, thus providing insight into the pathogenesis of ...

Noninvasive Evaluation of Right Ventricular Function
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1987Numerous technologic advances have greatly facilitated the noninvasive analysis of right ventricular function. Nevertheless, important clues continue to be available to the astute clinician by physical examination. The chest x-ray is of rather limited utility.
