1Comparative assessment of pediatric right ventricular volumes and function by MRI: right horizontal long axis versus short axis
Background Accurate and reproducible assessments of right ventricular (RV) size and function are important for clinical decisions. RV volume assessment by CMR has been traditionally performed using a short axis orientation (SAX). This projection, however, renders en-face views of the mitral and tricuspid valves. Distinction between atriums and ventricles can be difficult, which can complicate c...
متن کاملDescribing right ventricular function.
In pulmonary hypertension and other conditions, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome and left heart failure, right ventricular dysfunction is a prognostic determinant. Therefore, functional parameters pertaining to the right heart alone, i.e. independent of its loading conditions, should be used to quantify right ventricular disease progression and the results of treatment. Two methods t...
متن کاملAbnormalities of right ventricular long axis function after atrial repair of transposition of the great arteries.
BACKGROUND While volume derived global indices of right ventricle (RV) function are frequently abnormal after the Mustard procedure, the mechanism for these abnormalities is poorly understood. RV muscle fibres are predominantly arranged longitudinally and thus indices derived in the long axis may better describe RV function. METHODS 20 survivors of the Mustard operation were studied (age 7.8-...
متن کاملPostoperative Right Ventricular Failure in Cardiac Surgery
Two cases of patients that developed right ventricular failure (RVF) after cardiac valve surgery are presented with a narrative revision of the literature. RVF involves a great challenge due to the severity of this condition; it has a low incidence among non-congenital cardiac surgery patients, is more likely associated with cardiovascular and pulmonary complications related to cardiopulmonary ...
متن کاملRight ventricular systolic function in hypertensive heart failure
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of cardiovascular admissions and hypertensive heart failure (HHF) is the most common cause of HF admissions in sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria inclusive. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is being increasingly recognized in HF and found to be an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in HF. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of RV systoli...
