The Prognostic Role of the Right Ventricle in Patients With Heart Failure or Congenital Heart Disease

Overview

The objectives are 1. to validate quantification of 2D and 3D right ventricular strian measurements of right ventricular performance in cross comparison to cardiac MRI and to evaluate its relation to right ventricular fibrosis. 2. to evaluate their prognostic value in patients with heart failure with either depressed or preserved ejection fraction.
