Right ventricular function in patients with preserved and reduced ejection fraction heart failure.
AIMS To determine the prevalence of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in patients with preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) heart failure (HF) and to compare RV function between patients with preserved EF HF and those with reduced EF HF. METHODS AND RESULTS Hundred patients (72 +/- 14 years, 59% male) with HF were prospectively enrolled. Fifty-one had preserved EF HF (LVEF ...
متن کاملPreserved right ventricular ejection fraction predicts exercise capacity and survival in advanced heart failure.
OBJECTIVES This study was undertaken to determine which exercise and radionuclide ventriculographic variables predict prognosis in advanced heart failure. BACKGROUND Although cardiopulmonary exercise testing is frequently used to predict prognosis in patients with advanced heart failure, little is known about the prognostic significance of ventriculographic variables. METHODS The results of...
متن کاملRight ventricular failure in patients with preserved ejection fraction and diastolic dysfunction: an underrecognized clinical entity.
It is well recognized that patients with severe left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction develop pulmonary venous hypertension or postcapillary pulmonary hypertension, which leads to an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and right ventricular (RV) systolic failure. It is often underrecognized, however, that patients with heart failure with preserved LV ejection fraction and diast...
متن کاملChanges in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Predict Survival and Hospitalization in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular remodeling, as commonly measured by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), is associated with clinical outcomes. Although change in LVEF over time should reflect response to therapy and clinical course, serial measurement of LVEF is inconsistently performed in observational settings, and the incremental prognostic value of change in LVEF has not been well charact...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction
In clinical practice, echocardiography is the mainstay of evaluation of RV function. Measurement of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) by M-mode echocardiography has long been considered as the simplest, yet the most reliable, indicator of RV dysfunction. Importantly, impaired RV function by TAPSE measurement is common in patients with HFrEF, being found in 35% to 50% of cases, ...
