Independent and additive prognostic value of right ventricular systolic function and pulmonary artery pressure in patients with chronic heart failure

TLDR
It was found that RVEF was preserved in some patients with pulmonary hypertension, and that the prognosis of these patients was similar to that of the patients with normal PAP, which emphasize the necessity of combining the right heart hemodynamic variables with a functional evaluation of the RV when trying to define the individual risk of patients with heart failure.

Preserved right ventricular ejection fraction predicts exercise capacity and survival in advanced heart failure.

TL;DR: Right ventricular ejection fraction > or = 0.35 at rest and exercise is a more potent predictor of survival in advanced heart failure than VO2 or %VO2;%VO2 rather thanVO2 predicts survival inadvanced heart failure; and neither % VO2 nor VO2 predicting survival to the combined end point of death or admission for inotropic or mechanical support in patients withAdvanced heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Right ventricular ejection fraction is an independent predictor of survival in patients with moderate heart failure.

TL;DR: Multivariate analysis showed that three variables-NYHA classification, percent of maximal predicted VO2 and RVEF-were independent predictors of both survival and event-free cardiac survival.

Right ventricular ejection fraction: An indicator of increased mortality in patients with congestive heart failure associated with coronary artery disease

TL;DR: It appears that the multiple factors contributing to the reduction in right ventricular ejection fraction make it a useful index not only for assessing biventricular function, but also for predicting patient outcome.

Pulmonary hypertension predicts mortality and morbidity in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: Noninvasive assessment of pulmonary hypertension using continuous-wave Doppler of tricuspid regurgitation can predict morbidity and mortality in patients with ischemic or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
