Usefulness of regional right ventricular and right atrial strain for prediction of early and late right ventricular failure following a left ventricular assist device implant: A machine learning approach.

CONCLUSION: Apical right ventricular strain as well as right atrial strain provides complementary information, both critical to predict acute-right ventricular failure and chronic-right ventricular failure, respectively.
