Predictors of right ventricular dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction

Predictors of right ventricular dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction

BACKGROUNDThe frequency and determinants of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and reduced left ventricular (LV) function have not been thoroughly investigated. METHODSThe study population consists of 80 consecutive patients, invasively evaluated at our...
