Right ventricular (RV) function is an important predictor of prognosis in patients with heart\nfailure. However, the relationship of the RV free wall longitudinal strain (RV FWS) and the degree of\nhepatic dysfunction during the acute worsening of heart failure (AWHF) is unknown. We sought to\ndetermine associations of RV FWS with laboratory liver function tests and parameters of RV function\nincluding tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), RV fractional area change (RV FAC),\nmaximal tricuspid jet velocity...............
