Blood flow kinetic energy is a novel marker for right ventricular global systolic function in patients with left ventricular assist device therapy

ObjectivesRight ventricular (RV) failure remains a major concern in heart failure (HF) patients undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. We aimed to measure the kinetic energy of blood in the RV outflow tract (KE-RVOT) – a new marker of RV global systolic function. We also aime...
