Right ventricular systolic function assessment: rank of echocardiographic methods vs. cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
AIMS Right ventricular (RV) systolic function is prognostically important, but its assessment by echocardiography remains challenging, in part because of the multitude of available measurement methods. The purpose of this prospective study was to rank these methods against the reference of RV ejection fraction (EF) as obtained in a broad clinical population by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ...
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 کاملEchocardiographic assessment of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate new echocardiographic modes in the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING University Hospital. SUBJECTS 15 patients with ARVC and a control group of 25 healthy subjects. METHODS Transthoracic echocardiography included cross sectional measurements of the right ventricular outflow tract, ri...
متن کاملEchocardiographic evaluation of right ventricular function.
To allow optimal patient management an ideal measure of right ventricular performance should give an accurate objective assessment of function, be practicable in everyday clinical use and provide accurate prognostic information. This review will provide the practising clinician with an understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the available echocardiographic techniques and aims to gi...
متن کاملValidation study on the accuracy of echocardiographic measurements of right ventricular systolic function in pulmonary hypertension.
BACKGROUND The accuracy of echocardiographic parameters of right ventricular (RV) function has not been sufficiently validated in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether echocardiographic measurements reliably reflect RV systolic function in PH using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI)-derived RV ejection fraction (RVEF) as a gold standard....
