Background: The study aimed (1) to assess the prognostic value of three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) derived right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction (EF) and (2) to evaluate relative prognostic importance of reduced and preserved left ventricular (LV) EF and RVEF to predict all-cause mortality and cardiac death in a large cohort of patients with cardiac diseases.Methods: LV and RV volumes and EF were assessed by 3DE in 394 patients with various cardiovascular diseases. Patients were divided into four groups: (1) normal LVEF (>= 50%) and normal RVEF (>= 45%), n = 183; (2) reduced LVEF (= 45%), n = 75; (3) normal LVEF (>= 50%) and reduced RVEF (
