A Scoping Review of Validated Echocardiographic Methods for Grading Right Ventricular Dysfunction: Proposal for an Evidence-Based Multiparametric Framework

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Scoping review

Authors' conclusion

The studies demonstrated that multiparametric RV dysfunction scores had greater clinical prognostic value than did any individual RV echo parameter alone.
