TLDR
Right ventricular function is an independent predictor of death and the development of HF in patients with LV dysfunction after MI, after adjusting for age, gender, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, previous MI, LVEF, infarct size, cigarette smoking and treatment assignment.About:

Cardiac Endothelial-Myocardial Signaling: Its Role in Cardiac Growth, Contractile Performance, and Rhythmicity
TL;DR: In relation specifically to the endocardial endothelium, an active transendothelial physicochemical gradient for various ions, or blood-heart barrier, has been demonstrated, and linkage of this blood- heart barrier to the various other endothelia-mediated signaling pathways or to the putative vascular endothelialium-derived hyperpolarizing factors remains to be determined.

Effect of captopril on mortality and morbidity in patients with left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction. results of the survival and ventricular enlargement trial
Marc A. Pfeffer,Eugene Braunwald,Lemuel A. Moyé,Lofty L. Basta,Edward J. Brown,Thomas E. Cuddy,Barry R. Davis,Edward M. Geltman,Steven Goldman,Greg C. Flaker,Marc Klein,Gervasio A. Lamas,Milton Packer,Jacques R. Rouleau,Jean L. Rouleau,John D. Rutherford,John H. Wertheimer,C. Morton Hawkins +17 more
TL;DR: In patients with asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction, long-term administration of captopril was associated with an improvement in survival and reduced morbidity and mortality due to major cardiovascular events.

TL;DR: Univariate analyses showed a progressive increase in cardiac mortality during one year as the ejection fraction fell below 0.40 and as the number of ventricular ectopic depolarizations exceeded one per hour.

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

TL;DR: 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.

Assessment of right ventricular function using two-dimensional echocardiography☆
Sanjiv Kaul,Sanjiv Kaul,Chuwa Tei,Chuwa Tei,James M. Hopkins,James M. Hopkins,Pravin M. Shah,Pravin M. Shah +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the measurement of TAPSE offers a simple echocardiographic parameter which reflects RVEF and is not dependent on either geometric assumptions or traceable endocardial edges.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates the linkage between attenuation of left ventricular enlargement by captopril after infarction and improved clinical outcome and two-dimensional echocardiography provides important and independent prognostic information in patients afterinfarction.
