Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (assessed by PAAT/CL) and RV free-wall thickening (characterized by RVWT) precede RV dilation and RV systolic dysfunction (measured by RVEDD and TAPSE, respectively). Echocardiographic analysis permits accurate determination of the stage of disease development in MCT-induced RV failure.
