Does the measurement of the anteroposterior component of RV motion provide independent prognostic value in patients with left-sided heart disease and normal RVEF?
Assessing the anteroposterior component of RV motion provides independent prognostic information in patients with left-sided heart disease who have preserved RVEF.
In patients with left-sided heart disease, there is a significant remodeling of the RV associated with preservation of the RVEF in patients with mild or moderate LV dysfunction. In patients with normal RVEF, the measurement of the anteroposterior component of RV motion provided independent prognostic value.
