Abbreviation: EF, ejection fraction; FAC, fractional area change of the right ventricle; FS, fractional shortening of the left ventricle; GLS, global longitudinal strain; RVBD, basal diameter of the right ventricle; RVFWLS, right ventricular free wall strain; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion; TrP, tricuspid regurgitant pressure.
Values are mean (SD).
