Key result
Right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RV-GLS) independently predicts adverse outcomes and ascites clearance in patients undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts.
Why the study?
Does right ventricular function (RV-GLS) predict adverse outcomes in patients undergoing TIPS?
Does right ventricular function (RV-GLS) predict adverse outcomes in patients undergoing TIPS?
Right ventricular function, specifically RV-GLS, is an important predictor of adverse outcomes and ascites clearance following TIPS procedures.
Right Ventricular Contractility Predicts Clearance of AscitesAfter Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt,' published in Liver International.The authors highlight the importance of right ventricular function in TIPS patients and demonstrate that RV-GLS is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes, underscoring its significant clinical relevance.
