under the curve and the 95% confidence interval for RVFAC, TAPSE, PSVtdi, and ISWtdi were 0.71 (0.65-0.85), 0.66 (0.55-0.76), 0.85 (0.70-0.96), and 0.75 (0.64-0.86) respectively. NYH A>2, and PSVtdi were found to be independent predictors of adverse outcome. Conclusion: PSVtdi is a strong independent predictor of adverse outcome in HF at a threshold value of 10.0 cm s–1 and appears to be superior to other RV systolic echocardiographic parameters.
