Right atrial and ventricular strain detects subclinical changes in right ventricular function in precapillary pulmonary hypertension

Right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction (EF) by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) correlates to outcome in precapillary pulmonary hypertension (pPH) patients, but is insensitive to early changes. Strain might ...
