Right 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 کاملThe influence of Asthma on Right Ventricular Systolic and Diastolic Function in Children according to Tissue Doppler Echocardiography
Introduction:Asthma is the most common chronic inflammatory condition affecting the lower airways among children. Asthma may influence right ventricular (RV) function and patients may develop right ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale. The main objective of this study is to determine RV dysfunction in asymptomatic asthmatic children as detected by ti...
متن کاملRight ventricular myxoma obstructing the right ventricular outflow tract.
A12-year-old previously healthy girl developed syncope when walking at school. When she was seen in the emergency department, her heart rate was 115 bpm, the precordial impulse was active, and a thrill was palpated. Third and fourth heart sounds were heard. A grade 4/6 systolic ejection murmur was heard at the left upper sternal border. The chest x-ray demonstrated a mildly enlarged, globular h...
متن کاملRight ventricular myxoma causing right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
Cardiac myxomas are the most common neoplasms of the heart. They can be located in any chamber of the heart but frequently in the left atrium. In this report we present a patient who had been treated for a right ventricular myxoma originating from the interventricular septum and leading to right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
متن کاملPredictors of right ventricular function as measured by tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion in heart failure
INTRODUCTION Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE) has independent prognostic value in heart failure patients but may be influenced by left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction. The present study assessed the association of TAPSE and clinical factors, global and regional LV function in 634 patients admitted for symptomatic heart failure. METHODS & RESULTS TAPSE were correlated with...
