Popis: WOS: 000372153000004 Background: Right Ventricular (RV) functions are known to have an impact on determining the prognosis of patients with Non-Ischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy (NICMP). Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the echocardiographic determinants of RV systolic dysfunction in patients with NICMP. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 79 patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries (mean age: 50.5 +/- 12, mean Ejection Fraction (EF): 31 +/- 4%) selected through purposive sampling The patients were divided into two groups based on their RV systolic function determined by tissue Doppler systolic velocities (RV-Sm): group A (RV-Sm >= 10 cm/s, N = 48) and group B (RV-Sm
