Systolic Strain by Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography Is a Feasible and Sensitive Measure of Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Acute Respiratory Failure Patients on Mechanical Ventilation

OBJECTIVES:. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is common in acute respiratory failure and associated with worse outcomes, but it can be difficult to detect in the ICU setting. Speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) can identify early changes in RV systolic function and be quantified as systolic st...
