The effect of cardiovascular risk factors on the left ventricle is well known but their effect on right ventricle has not been studied using advanced imaging techniques. The purpose of the present study was to determine the relation between the cardiovascular risk factors and right ventricular (RV) structure and function and its interaction with the left ventricle. Cardiac magnetic resonance images from 4,204 participants free of clinical cardiovascular disease in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis were analyzed. Multivariate linear regression models were used to study the cross-sectional association between individual RV parameters and risk factors. All RV parameters, except for ejection fraction, decreased with age (p
