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 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 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 کاملEchocardiographic assessment of left ventricular function.
The concept of "normalized velocity" has been applied in this study to the echocardiographic (echo) assessment of left ventricular (LV) function in 87 patients. The following normalized velocities were calculated from the ultrasound recording of LV wall motion: 1) the mean circumferential fiber shortening rate (mean VCF), 2) the mean normalized posterior wall velocity (Vpw), and 3) the mean nor...
