Cardiopulmonary and Right Ventricular Function in Health and Disease

The primary objective of this research protocol is to advance the understanding of cardiopulmonary and right ventricular (RV) performance among individuals with cardiomyopathy (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction \[HFrEF\], heart failure with preserved ejection fraction \[HFpEF\]), as well as athletes engaging in endurance/prolonged exercise, who are at a high risk of an acquired cardiomyopathy during/following completion of an endurance event.
