Abstract
BackgroundThe right heart is a major determinant of prognosis in cardiac transplant recipient patients.AimTo investigate right ventricular morphology and function and their relationship with exercise capacity in cardiac transplant recipient patients using standard tranthoracic echocardiography and aKeywords
