Abstract
Although RVFAC, TAPSE, FTWM, and FLWM were significantly correlated to CMRI-derived-RVEF, all four echo parameters showed a low sensitivity for predicting a deterioration in CMRI-derived RVEF during follow-up. Therefore, RVFAC, TAPSE, FTWM, and FLWM are not suitable parameters for the serial assessment of RV systolic function in patients with precapillary PH.
