Prognostic value of RV isovolumic acceleration and tissue strain in moderate HFrEF

Abstract

our study demonstrated a useful prognostic role of RV strain and IVA, which are parameters of subclinical RV impairment. Patients with low values may benefit from a more aggressive therapy and a closer follow-up.

Echocardiographic evaluation of right ventricular systolic function: The traditional and innovative approach

“…This parameter has the advantage of being a relatively load-independent index of global RV systolic performance that has proved to be useful in a variety of clinical settings, including acute pulmonary embolism [28], heart failure with reduced LVEF (as a marker of subclinical RV impairment [29]), as well as in patients after mitral valve surgery (as a more reliable measure of early recovery in RV contractility [30]). …”
