Normal Echocardiographic Reference Values of the Right Ventricular to Left Ventricular Endsystolic Diameter Ratio and the Left Ventricular Endsystolic Eccentricity Index in Healthy Children and in Children With Pulmonary Hypertension

Normal Echocardiographic Reference Values of the Right Ventricular to Left Ventricular Endsystolic Diameter Ratio and the Left Ventricular Endsystolic Eccentricity Index in Healthy Children and in Children With Pulmonary Hypertension

BackgroundAn accurate assessment of the right and left ventricle and their interaction is important in pediatric pulmonary hypertension (PH). Our objective was to provide normal reference values for the right ventricular to left ventricular endsystolic (RV/LVes) ratio and the LV endsystolic eccentri...
