Evaluation of Right Ventricular Function

Abstract: Right ventricular (RV) function is a powerful prognostic factor in congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, but assessing RV function is a challenge because of the right ventricle's complex geometry, its extreme sensitivity to loading conditions, and a limited understanding of underlying mechanisms of right heart failure. At present, a single widely accepted and generally applicable index of RV function is not available. Current approaches to assessment of RV function include physical examination, … Show more

“…EXERCISE-INDUCED HYPERTROPHY of the left ventricle (LV), socalled athlete's heart, is generally associated with excellent health outcomes. Right ventricle (RV) has remained less studied, and for a long time it was considered merely as "a passive conduit" (8,14,42). Recently, RV adaptations to exercise training have gained increased research interest.…”

“…It enables accurate quantification of heart chambers volumes and calculation of myocardial mass from tracing epicardial and endocardial borders and multiplying them by myocardial density [54]. Valvular regurgitant volumes and shunt severity can also be precisely calculated using velocity-encoded cine images [55].…”

“…Historically, percutaneous mechanical support for RVF has been limited to the IABP, which only indirectly benefits RV function by reducing LV afterload and enhancing coronary perfusion. Since RV stroke work requires one-sixth the energy expenditure of the LV [68], pumps that generate continuous flow with a minimal, low-amplitude pulsatile component, may more closely approximate native RV function.…”
