Although contemporary outcomes of initial surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) are
excellent, the survival of adult patients remains significantly lower than that of the normal …

Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a pathological condition associated with worse
cardiovascular outcomes. In the vicious cycle of right ventricular compensation and …

Aims Right ventricular (RV) functional assessment is mainly limited to its longitudinal
contraction. Dedicated three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) software enabled the …

Background The global effect of chronic pulmonary regurgitation (PR) on right ventricular
(RV) dilation and dysfunction in repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) patients is well studied by …

Background Three-dimensional (3D) right ventricular (RV) strain analysis is not routinely
performed perioperatively. Although 3D RV strain adds incrementally to outcome prediction …

Background Data about the right ventricular (RV) mechanics adaptation to volume overload
in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rToF) are limited. Accordingly, we sought to …

In clinical routine, high-dimensional descriptors of the cardiac function such as shape and
deformation are reduced to scalars (eg volumes or ejection fraction), which limit the …

Objective: This study was conducted in order to determine the reference values for right
ventricular (RV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF) using three-dimensional …

Recent inroads into percutaneous-based options for the treatment of tricuspid valve disease
has brought to light how little we know about the behavior of the right ventricle in both health …

Background and purpose Electromechanical dyssynchrony, manifested by right bundle
branch block and regional wall mechanical dysfunction, contributes to inefficient RV function …
