Why the study?
Does RV free-wall strain provide incremental prognostic information in patients with HFrEF and preserved tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion?
Does RV free-wall strain provide incremental prognostic information in patients with HFrEF and preserved tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion?
RV free-wall strain improves risk stratification in HFrEF patients even when standard RV systolic function (TAPSE) appears preserved.
May aid HFrEF risk stratification despite preserved TAPSE; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
In patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction with preserved tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, RV free-wall strain provides incremental prognostic information and improved risk stratification.
