Abstract:Aims. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a predictor of adverse
outcomes among patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)
however, differences in RV parameters in HFrEF patients with ischemic
(ICM) and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies (NICM) are not well understood.
We investigated echocardiographic characteristics, including RV strain,
in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and compared
patients with ICM and NICM etiology. Methods. Consecutive patients who
presented with ADHF a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
