Different Correlates but Similar Prognostic Implications for Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Heart Failure Patients with Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction

Abstract

The correlates of RV dysfunction differ in HFrEF compared with HFpEF and HFmrEF patients. Regardless of the extent of LV dysfunction, the TAPSE/PASP ratio is a powerful independent predictor of prognosis in all heart failure patients.
