Detection of subclinical right ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with mitral stenosis by two dimensional strain and strain rate imaging

Detection of subclinical right ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with mitral stenosis by two dimensional strain and strain rate imaging

Introduction: Right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction occurs early before clinical systemic congestion in patients with mitral stenosis (MS). Conventional echocardiographic techniques have some limitations in the assessment of RV function. Aim of the work: To evaluate the role of two dimensional...
