Right Ventricular Dysfunction Predicts Outcome in Acute Heart Failure

Right Ventricular Dysfunction Predicts Outcome in Acute Heart Failure

AimThe severity of cardiac impairment in acute heart failure (AHF) predicts outcome, but challenges remain to identify prognostically important non-invasive parameters of cardiac function. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is relevant, but only in those with reduced LV systolic function. We...
