However&#44; objective&#44; reliable&#44; and reproducible assessment of RV function is often difficult&#46; Several methods have been advocated&#44; but all are far from perfect&#44; and this constitutes an important limitation to the use of RV functional parameters in daily clinical practice&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> In their article<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> published in this issue of the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Journal</span>&#44;

However&#44; objective&#44; reliable&#44; and reproducible assessment of RV function is often difficult&#46; Several methods have been advocated&#44; but all are far from perfect&#44; and this constitutes an important limitation to the use of RV functional parameters in daily clinical practice&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> In their article<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> published in this issue of the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Journal</span>&#44;

a comprehensive data collection was performed&#46; After non-invasive assessment by echocardiography and right heart catheterization&#44; the only parameter that strongly predicted hospitalization was right ventricular stroke work index &#40;RVSWI&#41;&#46; Other commonly used non-invasive and hemodynamic parameters&#44; such as LVEF&#44; tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion&#44; cardiac index or cardiac output&#44; and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure &#40;PCWP&#41;&#44; did not have predictive value regarding HF hospitalizations&#46; Moreover&#44; none of the tools analyzed were found to predict mortality&#46; The authors attributed this to the short follow-up time&#46; The relatively low cardiovascular mortality &#40;considering the high-risk features of this group of patients&#41;&#44; more easily influenced by unexpected events or even arrhythmic episodes&#44; may be another plausible explanation for the absence of significant predictors&#46; Unfortunately no information was reported regarding implantable cardioverter-defibrillator use&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Notably&#44; deceased patients displayed numerically lower cardiac output and index&#44;

Furthermore&#44; it is not widely available and should be performed only in selected cases&#44; by experienced operators&#46; However&#44; it remains part of the routine assessment of heart transplantation or LVAD candidates&#46; The work by Ozenc et al&#46; showed that measurement of RVSWI provides further valuable information in settings where right heart catheterization is required&#44; without significantly increasing the complexity or risk of the procedure&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Advanced HF involves complex clinical scenarios in which a &#8216;one size fits all&#8217; assessment and management of patients is unlikely to result in satisfactory outcomes&#46; The information added by RVSWI may enable more tailored management and follow-up in this particular setting&#44; identifying patients who are at higher risk for unscheduled hospital admissions and in need of closer surveillance or anticipated advanced interventions&#46; It might also prompt earlier referral for palliative care &#40;often disregarded&#44;

It is possible that the authors&#44; similarly to Portuguese heart failure specialists&#44; face a harsh reality when it comes to access to heart transplantation and medium- and long-term LVAD therapy&#46;
