This study establishes baseline regional differences in right ventricular systolic function in normal individuals, providing a reference for future research on pathological conditions.
The results of this study demonstrate significant regional differences between the sinus and infundibulum components of the RV with regard to contribution to stroke volume, extent of fiber shortening, and sequence of mechanical activation. These data from normal individuals can be used in future research on RV function in pathological conditions.
Geva et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
