Why the study?
Does right ventricular dysfunction predict reduced exercise capacity and survival in patients with chronic dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure?
Does right ventricular dysfunction predict reduced exercise capacity and survival in patients with chronic dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure?
Right ventricular dysfunction is a significant predictor of poor outcomes, including reduced exercise capacity and survival, in patients with advanced heart failure.

Supports RV assessment for HF prognosis; leaves open whether targeting dysfunction alters outcomes in ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Brieke et al. (2005) studied this question.
