Abstract: Right ventricular (RV) as well as left ventricular (LV) function has been recognized as an important prognostic factor for heart failure patients. Our objective was thus to investigate the prognostic significance of combined assessment of bi-ventricular functional reserve for patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).<br />info:eu-repo/semantics/published
