Results of gobal and longitudinal right ventricular function analysis. Global and longitudinal right ventricular function of mitral valve surgery patients, percutaneous mitral valve repair patients and off-pump coronary artery bypass patients initially before (pre) and after (post) the procedure. FWLS = free wall longitudinal strain, RVEF = right ventricular ejection fraction, RVEFlong = longitudinal contribution to right ventricular ejection fraction, TAPSE = tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion. * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01, ** = p < 0.01, *** = p < 0.001 (paired Student’s t-test)
