Regional Right Ventricular Abnormalities Implicate Distinct Pathophysiological Conditions in Patients With Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Regional Right Ventricular Abnormalities Implicate Distinct Pathophysiological Conditions in Patients With Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Background Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a prognostic factor for cardiovascular disease. However, its mechanism and pathophysiology remain unknown. We investigated RV function using RV‐specific 3‐dimensional (3D)‐speckle‐tracking echocardiography (STE) in patients with chronic thromboembolic...
