Effect of septal flash on right ventricular systolic function in left bundle-branch block patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction

Abstract A leftward motion of the ventricular septum prior to ejection, known as the septal flash (SF), is frequently observed in patients with left bundle-branch block (LBBB). We investigated whether the abnormal motion of the ventricular septum affects right ventricle (RV) contractile performance...
