Assessment of Right Ventricular Function: Putting "At Rest" Evaluations to Rest

Explore the complexities of assessing right ventricular function in this comprehensive lecture by Dr. Ryan Tedford. Delve into emerging data suggesting the diagnostic and prognostic value of RV reserve measures in various pathological conditions. Learn about a clinical observation that led to investigating right ventricular loading conditions and RV contractility in systemic sclerosis. Evaluate the potential of RV reserve measurement techniques in predicting and mitigating the risk of RV failure after LVAD. Gain insights into the challenges of right ventricle function assessment and the importance of moving beyond "at rest" evaluations. This hour-long presentation, part of the Houston Methodist DeBakey CV Education series, offers valuable knowledge for cardiovascular professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of right ventricular function assessment.
