Intraoperative assessment of right ventricular volume and function.
OBJECTIVE Right ventricular function is an important aspect of global cardiac performance which affects patients' outcome after cardiac surgery. Due to its geometrical complexity, the assessment of right ventricular function is still a very difficult task. Aim of this study was to investigate the value of a new technique for intraoperative assessment of right ventricle based on transesophageal ...
متن کاملAssessment of right ventricular function.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To 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. RECENT FINDINGS Assessment of right ventricular function requires a full understanding of the physiology of the right ventricle. The right ventricle, u...
متن کاملRight ventricular volume assessment. An alternative perspective.
704 Communications to the Editor shown that patients with OSA often have cranio-facial abnormalities that play a role in the development of their disease. Very obese patients often have few of these abnormalities, but it is highly recommended that patients be reassessed when weight loss has been sufficient to eliminate residual apneas related to upper airway anatomic abnormalities that persist ...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Outflow Tract Systolic Excursion and Fractional Shortening for the Assessment of Right Ventricular Function
Dear Sir, The report on “Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) systolic excursion (SE) and fractional shortening (FS)” is very interesting.[1] Allam et al. raised an interesting question, “Can these echocardiographic parameters be used for the assessment of right ventricular (RV) function?” Clinically, RV function assessment is useful for initial assessment, diagnosis, and follow-up of the pat...
متن کاملAssessment of Right Ventricular Structure and Function in Pulmonary Hypertension
Right ventricular function plays an important role in determining cardiac symptoms and exercise capacity in chronic heart failure. It is known that right ventricle has complex anatomy and physiology. The purpose of this review paper is to demonstrate the best assessment of the right ventricle with current echocardiography. Echocardiography can assess sufficiently right ventricular structure and...
