The design of HM3 offered better geometrical preservation of the LV and enabled normal PDI values, leading to improved RV function, as indicated by better RVFAC, TAPSE, and TASV values. The use of pre-operative PDI as an additional tool for established risk scores might offer a better pre-operative predictor of RVF.
