Right ventricular plasticity and functional imaging
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 patients with RV myocardial infarction, pu...
متن کاملImaging right ventricular shape and remodelling.
The development of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and failure is a significant clinical problem in patients with congenital heart disease or pulmonary arterial hypertension. The RV remodels when exposed to abnormal loading conditions and when the intrinsic myocardial dysfunction is present. After congenital heart surgery this remodelling process is further influenced by the effect of right ...
متن کاملRespite for 2-Dimensional Right Ventricular Imaging?
The complex geometry and structure of the right ventricular (RV) cavity make the assessment of RV function and volumes by 2-dimensional (2D) echocardiography arduous. Highly trabeculated endocardial border and bellows-like contractile pattern are not explicitly imaged by 2D echocardiography. Furthermore, the retrosternal position of the right ventricle hinders its visualization, and minimal cha...
متن کاملDifferent prognostic value of functional right ventricular parameters in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia.
BACKGROUND The value of standard 2-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic parameters for risk stratification in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) is controversial. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated the impact of RV fractional area change (FAC) and tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) for the prediction of major adverse cardio...
متن کاملRight ventricular dysfunction and functional limitation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
there are significant overlaps in clinical, physiological and pathological features of the two diseases, including the mechanisms of bronchial hyperresponsiveness and atopy that drive obstructive phenotypes [7]. Although asthma may progress to chronic irreversible airflow obstruction, changes in reversibility over time are not widely reported [8, 9]. It may be that we require a new taxonomy to ...
