PM101 Impact of Right Ventricular Stroke Work Index on the Echocardiographic and Clinical Response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is considered a major determinant of outcome in patients with moderate-to-severe heart failure (HF). Baseline RV function may play a role in determining the left ventricular response to CRT. The RV stroke work index (RVSWI) calculates RV workload and contractility based on invasive hemodynamics. However there is no data about the value of basal RVSWI in predicting the left ventricular response to CRT.
