This parameter shows important limitations as an index of ventricular function.

It improves left ventricular function in diabetic patients with coronary heart disease.

The machine was later used to support right ventricular function.

Often, reverse remodeling, or improvement in left ventricular function, will also be seen.

A 72 year old man with ischaemic heart disease and poor ventricular function was admitted to hospital after collapsing at home.

Once again, left ventricular function plays a key role.

Provided that the individual survives their initial presentation, the left ventricular function improves within 2 months.

In many individuals, left ventricular function normalizes within 2 months.

The single most important determinant of future prognosis remains left ventricular function.

Loss of right ventricular function is a strong predictor of death.
