Right Ventricular Recovery During Follow-Up is Associated with Improved Survival in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction

Abstract

Patients with chronic HFrEF who have abnormal TAPSE at baseline but reverse their dysfunction during follow-up have better survival than patients with either worsened TAPSE or persistently abnormal TAPSE, and similar to that of patients with persistently normal TAPSE.
