To evaluate the usefulness of echocardiographic measurement of right ventricular dimension and septal motion in assessment of cor pulmonale, 94 patients with cystic fibrosis of varying severity were studied. The data show that there is echocardiographic evidence of mild right ventricular enlargement or hypertrophy much earlier in the course of cystic fibrosis than previously suspected and that the echocardiogram is a useful tool in the evaluation of cor pulmonale in patients with cystic fibrosis. |
