Impact of Interventricular Interaction on Ventricular Function: Insights From Right Ventricular Pressure-Volume Analysis.

Interventricular interactions resulted in improved RV compliance, diminished afterload, and did not reduce RV contractility. These data challenge the prevailing view that interventricular interactions compromise RV function, which has important implications for the understanding of RV-LV interactions in various disease states, including post-LVAD RV dysfunction.
