HYPERTENSION AND RIGHT VENTRICULAR SYSTOLIC FUNCTION: AN ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY IN HEART FAILURE PATIENTS

Objective:Right ventricular function (RVF) is a major determinant of prognosis and adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). Moreover, most patients with HF have a history of hypertension, but it is largely unknown if systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP) are associated with R
