Right ventricular deformation and right ventricular-arterial coupling in patients with heart failure due to severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI: long-term results.

Abstract

Among patients with HF due to severe AS undergoing TAVI, deformation imaging (i.e., RVLS) and RV-arterial coupling (i.e., TAPSE/sPAP and RVLS/sPAP) provide better risk stratification at long-term follow up of 10 years than other RV echocardiographic parameters.
