OBJECTIVES This study was performed to determine the accuracy of right ventricular (RV) longitudinal strain (LS) in predicting myocardial fibrosis in patients with severe heart failure (HF) undergoing heart transplantation. Cross MarkBACKGROUND RVLS plays a key rote in the evaluation of its systolic performance and clinical outcome in patients with refractory HF.METHODS We studied 27 patients with severe systolic HF (ejection fraction
