Impact of right ventricular systolic function after heart transplantation on exercise capacity

Background Right ventricular (RV) systolic parameters are difficult to assess in heart transplant recipients (HTRs) compared to healthy people because of discordant data, and their impact on exercise capacity remains undefined. We sought to retrospectively assess the impact of RV systolic function on exercise capacity after heart transplantation. Methods We analyzed data from 61 HTRs who underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), cardiac...
