Longitudinal shortening is a substitute for TAPSE (tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, a quantitative measure of advanced echocardiography). Right ventricular size and systolic function ...

The size and pumping ability of the right side of the heart differs by age, gender and race/ethnicity, according to the first large imaging study of the right ventricle.

Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), measured by means of M-mode echocardiography, is decreased with impaired right ventricular function (Panel A, left image). The maximal velocity ...

Measurements of right ventricular volume and strain from 3D echocardiography were linked to later changes in right ventricular ejection fraction, according to a study published in JACC ...

The right ventricle is the chamber within the heart that is responsible for pumping oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs. The right ventricle is one of the heart’s four chambers. It is located in ...

The paper, titled "Quantitative prediction of right ventricular size and function from the electrocardiogram," is published in the December 29 online issue of Journal of the American Heart ...
