Abstract:
The incidence and mortality of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are increasing year by year. Right ventricle dysfunction (RVD) is an independent predictor of poor prognosis of HFpEF patients. Early evaluation of right heart structures and degrees of RVD are of great significance to the treatment and prognosis of HFpEF patients. The progresses of echocardiography in evaluation of the right heart structure and function in HFpEF were reviewed in this article.
