Right Ventricular Dysfunction by Echocardiography Is an Early Marker of Evolving Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy in Children After Heart Transplantation
Right ventricle systolic strain parameters were reduced as early as 12 months prior to CAV diagnosis, while the left ventricle functional parameters remained preserved. FE of the right ventricle may be a useful noninvasive tool for early recognition of developing CAV in transplanted children.
