Prognostic Value of Right Ventricular Ejection Fraction Assessed by Transthoracic 3D Echocardiography

Abstract

3DTTE-determined RV ejection fraction was independently associated with cardiac outcomes in patients with diverse backgrounds. 3DRVEF offered incremental value over clinical risk factors and the other echocardiographic parameters including left ventricular systolic and diastolic function for predicting future adverse outcome.
