Right ventricular function at rest, during exercise and during cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in DM + HC + CKD and Healthy swine. Right ventricular afterload at rest and during exercise was similar as the maximal right ventricular pressure (RVPmax, A) and pulmonary arterial elastance (Ea, B) were similar between groups for any given level of body oxygen consumption (BVO2). Systolic (dP/dtmax; maximum of the first derivate of the systolic RV pressure increase, E) and diastolic function (dP/dtmin; minimum of first derivate of the RV diastolic pressure decrease, F) were preserved in DM + HC + CKD swine for any level of heart rate. n = 11 for Healthy and n = 10 for DM + HC + CKD. Right ventricle cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging parameters were measured under general anesthesia. End-diastolic (EDV, C) and end-systolic volume (ESV, D) ejection fraction (EF, G) and global longitudinal strain (GLS, H) were unaltered in DM + HC + CKD (n = 7) compared to Healthy swine (n = 6).
