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.

1997
Thirty years ago, the right ventricle (RV) was considered to be little more than a conduit for blood flow between the peripheral venous circulation and the pulmonary arterial tree. The physiologic role of the RV systole has been revisited, especially because of the observations of acute cor pulmonale and RV infarction where the RV failure may be ...

Echocardiographic determination of right ventricular function
Cardiology in the Young, 2005With advances in surgical technique, more children with complex congenital heart disease are surviving.1 Increasingly, attention is focusing on late morbidities, such as right ventricular dysfunction.2 For many common forms of congenital cardiac malformations, the assessment of right ventricular size and function is now essential so as to make optimal ...

It is only relatively recently that acute right ventricular dysfunction has been recognised in critically ill patients and has been considered to be an important determinant of the overal effect of acute illnesses, especially respiratory failure, on the circulation.

Right Ventricular Normal Function
2018The evaluation of right ventricular (RV) morphology and function, although for many centuries forgotten or sidelined, is now recognized to be essential in cardiovascular diseases, as it can be involved in the physiopathology of many disorders. Therefore, appropriate knowledge of RV function in health and disease is mandatory for clinicians.

Right ventricular function by strain echocardiography
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2010Right ventricular (RV) function is an independent determinant of prognosis in a number of pathologies, but its accurate quantification by echocardiography remains a challenge. With the evolving clinical utility of RV strain and strain imaging, several studies have used it to investigate normal and pathologic conditions.

Monitoring right ventricular function.
The Journal of cardiovascular nursing, 1991A new catheter developed by Edwards Critical-Care Division measures right ventricular ejection fraction and calculates right ventricular stroke volume, end-systolic volume, and end-diastolic volume. The nurse can thus assess a patient's right ventricular function curves using the relationship between stroke volume and end-diastolic volume. This article
