Prevalence and prognostic significance of right ventricular systolic dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Insights from a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is the goldstandard technique for the assessment of right ventricular function. Recent data indicate that right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) <45% by CMR is a strong predictor of outcome in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. However, the prognostic significance of RVEF in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is unknown.

The Correlation between Left and Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease, Documented by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...
متن کاملRight ventricular Hemodynamic Alteration after Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Introduction: In patients who underwent surgery to repair Tetralogy of Fallot, right ventricular dilation from pulmonary regurgitation may be result in right ventricular failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Hence, pulmonary valve replacement may be necessary to reduce right ventricular volume overload. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of pulmonary valve replacement on rig...
متن کاملEvaluation of Right Ventricular Systolic Function in Chagas Disease Using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
BACKGROUND Right ventricular (RV) impairment is postulated to be responsible for prominent systemic congestion in Chagas disease. However, occurrence of primary RV dysfunction in Chagas disease remains controversial. We aimed to study RV systolic function in patients with Chagas disease using cardiac magnetic resonance. METHODS AND RESULTS This cross-sectional study included 158 individuals w...
متن کاملTricuspid regurgitation duration correlates with cardiovascular magnetic resonance-derived right ventricular ejection fraction and predict prognosis in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
AIMS Right ventricular (RV) failure is known to be the main cause of mortality and is closely related to prognosis in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). A decrease in the duration of tricuspid regurgitation corrected for heart rate (TRDc) has recently been shown to be associated with advanced RV failure and poor clinical outcomes. The aim of the present study was to investigat...
متن کاملHow to diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: the value of invasive stress testing.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a growing healthcare burden worldwide and its prevalence is increasing. Diagnosing HFpEF is challenging and relies upon the presence of symptoms and/or signs of heart failure, preserved left ventricular systolic function, and evidence of diastolic dysfunction. Current diagnostic algorithms mainly rely on echocardiography (E/e') and bioma...
