Right ventricle free wall longitudinal strain screening of lung transplant candidates
In patients enlisted for LUTX, RV dysfunction assessed by STE-derived RVFWLS is highly prevalent. STE can detect RV dysfunction better than standard two-dimensional echocardiography and ventriculography. Further studies are urgently needed to define the clinical implications and the prognostic value of RV dysfunction measured with RVFWLS.
