Left ventricular Doppler index (LVDI) is believed to be a useful echocardiographic index of systolic and diastolic ventricular function. However, the usefulness of right ventricular Doppler index (RVDI) remains uncertain, especially in dilated cardiomyopathy. The predictive value of RVDI for estimating long-term cardiac events, including cardiac death, was investigated.
