ECHOCARDIOGRAPIDC ESTIMATION OF SYSTOLIC RIGHT VENTRICULAR SHORTENING IN PATIENTS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
HANY FAYEZ KAWKAB;
Abstract
Evaluation of the right ventricular function is beneficial in many clinical aspects including the diagnosis of right ventricular infarction and prognosis in patients with advanced heart disease.
Echocardiographic evaluation of the right ventricle in the clinical practice was assumed as one of the difficulties due to technical points and geometric irregularities.
Radionuclide angiography was considered as the most accurate method to evaluate the right ventricular function due to actual right ventricular size calculation and absence of the need for traceable endocardium and geometric assumptions.
The right ventricular systolic shortening (or the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion
{TAPSE}) provides. a simple echocardiographic measure to evaluate the right ventricular systolic function with a high degree of correlation with
radionuclide angiographic techniques.
This work aimed at studying the RVs, as an echocardiographic index for the right ventricular systolic function in patients with coronary artery disease in whom the left ventricular function was normal or abnormal.
