Right Ventricular Free Wall Strain and Congestive Hepatopathy in Patients with Acute Worsening of Chronic Heart Failure: A CATSTAT-HF Echo Substudy

Right Ventricular Free Wall Strain and Congestive Hepatopathy in Patients with Acute Worsening of Chronic Heart Failure: A CATSTAT-HF Echo Substudy

Right ventricular (RV) function is an important predictor of prognosis in patients with heart failure. However, the relationship of the RV free wall longitudinal strain (RV FWS) and the degree of hepatic dysfunction during the acute worsening of heart failure (AWHF) is unknown. We sought to determin...
