Noninvasive estimation of systolic pressure in the right ventricle in patients with tricuspid regurgitation.

abstract：AIMS:In patients with ischaemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and viable myocardium, revascularization improves systolic function. Diastolic dysfunction is also present in such patients; however, whether revascularization improves diastolic function also is largely unknown. METHODS:Twenty-six patients with chronic...
