Assessing right ventricular functional response during incremental exercise in heart failure: insights on mitral regurgitation and ventilatory efficiency
“…In heart failure, the presence of mitral regurgitation (MR) plays a central role in determining pulmonary flow overload and pulmonary hypertension. 8 The determinants of right ventricle (RV) adaptation during exercise was assessed in 44 patients with heart failure and preserved LV ejection fraction. MR severity was strongly related to the functional response of the RV during maximal exercise and to ventilatory inefficiency (steeper VE/VCO 2 slope).…”
The annual meeting of the European Association of Echocardiography (EuroEcho-Imaging) was held in Istanbul, Turkey. In the present paper, we present a summary of the 'Highlights' session.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
