Multiparametric right ventricular assessment improves risk stratification in patients with new-onset acute heart failure.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Risk stratification of patients with new-onset acute heart failure (AHF) is important but remains challenging. In the present study, we evaluated the prognostic value of a new multiparameter right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) score.

Methods and results

Patients (n = 210) hospitalized due to new-onset AHF between 2015 and 2018 were retrospectively included. Mean age was 56 ± 10 years, 24% were female and median left ventricular ejection fraction was 28% (interquartile range 20; 34%). The RVD score, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), and fractional area change (FAC) were determined at index hospitalization and after therapy titration. The 4-point RVD score included reduced TAPSE, right ventricular enlargement, moderate or severe tricuspid regurgitation a
