Right ventricular myocardial performance index predicts perioperative mortality or circulatory failure in high-risk valvular surgery.
J Am Soc Echocardiogr. 2007; (9): 1065-72
The prognostic value of right ventricular myocardial performance index (RVMPI) and right ventricular fractional area change (RVFAC) in mitral or aortic valve surgery has not been well described. The main objective of this study is to assess the prognostic value of RVMPI and RVFAC in predicting postoperative mortality or circulatory failure.
