A hyperdynamic left ventricle (LV) may influence RV measures of displacement (TAPSE) and velocity (RV s\u2032) but not measures of relative change of length (RV BLS) or area (FAC). We aimed to explore this hypothesis in preterm infants with a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We measured LV function (ejection fraction (LV EF); left ventricular output) and RV function (RV BLS; RV s\u2032; TAPSE; FAC) on days 1, 2 and 5\u20137 in infants &lt;29\u2005weeks.
