“…Other studies showed, that in patients with advanced CHF and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40% prognosis strongly depends on RV function. RV function influenced the total outcome in these patients more significantly than LV function [10,11].…”

“…In humans, right heart assessment has been shown to have a clinically relevant impact on predicting clinical status and outcome in a variety of cardiovascular diseases, including diseases conventionally viewed as left heart‐specific, such as mitral valve disease and HCM 12, 23, 24, 25, 26. Recently, RV function has also been shown to have prognostic value in dogs with arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy and myxomatous mitral valve disease 27, 28.…”

BackgroundStudies evaluating right ventricular (RV) structural and functional abnormalities in feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are limited.HypothesisRight ventricular structural and functional abnormalities are present in cats with HCM and are associated with clinical severity.AnimalsEighty‐one client‐owned cats.MethodsRetrospective 2‐dimensional (2D) echocardiographic study. Right atrial diameter (RAD), RV free wall thickness (RVFWd), RV internal dimension (RVIDd), RV fractional area change (FAC), and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) were measured in control cats (n = 26), cats with subclinical HCM (subclinical HCM; n = 31), and cats with HCM and congestive heart failure (HCM + CHF; n = 24).ResultsRight heart size (RAD, RVFWd, and RVIDd) and RV function (FAC and TAPSE) significantly (all P < .05) increased and decreased, respectively, in the HCM + CHF group compared with controls. In the subclinical HCM group, only RVFWd was significantly (P < .05) higher than in controls. Compared with reference intervals derived from controls, 29% of cats with HCM had increased RVFWd. Increased left ventricular free wall thickness, increased RVIDd and decreased TAPSE independently correlated with increased left atrial size. Cats with HCM and pleural effusion were significantly more likely to have increased RVFWd and had increased RAD and decreased TAPSE compared with cats without pleural effusion.Conclusions and Clinical ImportanceRight ventricular remodeling and dysfunction occur in some cats with HCM and may be associated with clinical severity. Our results support involvement of RV in the pathophysiology of HCM in some cats and support echocardiographic assessment of the RV in cats with HCM.

“…Markers of right ventricular dysfunction that have reported implications for clinical deterioration and mortality in heart failure or pulmonary hypertension are shown in Table 2. [77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93] The extent to which any of these parameters are useful as outcome measures in clinical research or practice remains unclear.…”
