TISSUE DOPPLER ASSESSMENT OF RIGHT VENTRICULAR PERFORMANCE IN ACUTE HEART FAI

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Right ventricular (RV) function plays a key role in the outcome of heart failure patients, however the evaluation of RV function continues to be challenging due to image quality, ventricular geometry and the lack of a gold standard. The primary purpose of this study is to examine the usefulness of 2D and 3D echocardiography in the intensive care unit in the evaluation of RV function and the effects of pressure and volume changes on the RV.
