Does right ventricular ejection fraction assessed by transthoracic 3D echocardiography predict cardiac outcomes and offer incremental prognostic value over standard clinical and echocardiographic parameters?
Patients with diverse backgrounds
Assessment of right ventricular ejection fraction (3DRVEF) using transthoracic 3D echocardiography (3DTTE)
Clinical risk factors and other echocardiographic parameters (including left ventricular systolic and diastolic function)
Cardiac outcomes / future adverse outcome
3D echocardiography-derived right ventricular ejection fraction provides independent and incremental prognostic value for predicting adverse cardiac outcomes beyond standard clinical and echocardiographic parameters.
3DTTE-determined RV ejection fraction was independently associated with cardiac outcomes in patients with diverse backgrounds. 3DRVEF offered incremental value over clinical risk factors and the other echocardiographic parameters including left ventricular systolic and diastolic function for predicting future adverse outcome.
