Background Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is recognized as a major prognostic factor in left‐sided heart failure (HF). However, the relative contribution of RV dysfunction in HF with preserved (HFpEF) vs. reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is unclear. Methods and results Right ventricular longitu...
