| Abstract | AIMS: Right ventricular (RV) function has important prognostic and therapeutic implications. Assessment of RV function using echocardiography is challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate a new parameter of RV function, right ventricular outflow tract systolic excursion (RVOT_SE). METHODS AND RESULTS: RVOT_SE was measured using M-Mode echocardiography from the parasternal short-axis view at the level of the aortic valve, and was defined as the systolic excursion of the RVOT anterior wall. RVOT_SE was measured in 50 patients (age 64 ± 18 years, 28 males) with normal RV function [RV fractional area change (FAC) ≥35% and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) ≥1.6 cm] and 40 patients (age 68 ± 12 years, 35 males) with reduced RV function (RV FAC <35% and TAPSE <1.6 cm). R.V FAC was 46 ± 7% in the normal RV group and 22 ± 5% in the reduced RV group (P < 0.0001). TAPSE was 2.2 ± 0.4 cm in the normal RV group and 1.0 ± 0.2 cm in the reduced RV group (P < 0.0001). RVOT_SE was 9.6 ± 1.5 mm in the normal RV group and 1.7 ± 1.1 mm in the reduced RV group (P < 0.0001). RVOT_SE <6 mm identified patients with reduced RV function with 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity. Survival at 1 year was 63% in patients with RVOT_SE <6 mm and 84% in patients with RVOT_SE ≥6 mm, P = 0.004. CONCLUSION: RVOT_SE is a novel, simple, and promising parameter for assessing RV function, and it is associated with poor survival. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
