Abstract
In summary, we reviewed 2-dimensional and color Doppler echocardiographic data from 117 patients with advanced symptomatic heart failure to determine if echocardiographic TR would predict RV function and event-free survival. The presence of echocardiographic TR predicted RV dilation and dysfunction and was associated with worse survival.
