Changes in Right Ventricular Performance and Right Ventricular Longitudinal Peak Systolic Strain. The white bars represent the overall changes in RV longitudinal peak systolic strain whereas the black bars represent the overall changes in cardiovascular magnetic resonance derived RV volumes and ejection fraction. To compare the relative magnitudes in changes between strain and volumes/ejection fraction, the percentual changes from baseline to follow-up (rather than the absolute changes) are shown. A significant change was noted for RV volumes, global longitudinal peak systolic strain (GLPSS) and longitudinal peak systolic strain in the RV free wall (LPSS FW). The largest changes were observed in LPSS FW
