Right Ventricular Function in Heart Failure
- Conditions
- Assessment of the RV Function in Patients With Heart Faliure
- Registration Number
- NCT03641599
- Lead Sponsor
- shaimaa Mostafa
- Brief Summary
Only a few studies evaluated the RV systolic function in the three categories of HF, regarding the importance of understanding changes in RV function on clinical presentation and outcome; it was essential to understand the prevalence and severity of RV dysfunction among the three groups and the degree of correlation between RV with LV systolic function.

Adult patients of both gender who have the followiong criteria :
(i) symptoms with or without signs of HF (ii) elevated natriuretic peptides (BNP ≥35pg/ mL or NT-proBNP≥125pg/mL) (iii) relevant structural heart disease: left ventricle hypertrophy (left ventricular mass index ≥115 g/m2 for males and ≥95 g/m2 for females) or left atrial enlargement (>34 mL/m2) or diastolic dysfunction (E/e'≥13 and a mean e' septal and lateral wall <9 cm/s) were included.
Then patients were classified according to EF into HFpEF>50%, HFrEF<40% and HFmrEF >40% and <50%
