Key result
Right atrial and ventricular echocardiographic strain analysis predicts the requirement for right ventricular mechanical support following left ventricular assist device implantation.
Why the study?
Does 2D echocardiographic strain analysis predict the need for right ventricular mechanical support after left ventricular assist device implantation?
Does 2D echocardiographic strain analysis predict the need for right ventricular mechanical support after left ventricular assist device implantation?
2D echocardiographic strain analysis of right atrial and ventricular mechanics is proposed to predict the need for right ventricular support after LVAD implantation.
is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We used 2D echocardiographic strain analysis to assess right atrial (RA) and right ventricular (RV) mechanics and predict the need for RV mechanical support after LVAD implantation.
