Echocardiographic predictors of intraoperative right ventricular dysfunction: a 2D and speckle tracking echocardiography study

Abstract Background Intraoperative or post procedure right ventricular (RV) dysfunction confers a poor prognosis in the post-operative period. Conventional predictors for RV function are limited due the effect of cardiac surgery on traditional RV indices; novel echocardiographic techniques hold the...
