Right Ventricular-Pulmonary Arterial Coupling Predicts Outcome in Patients Referred for Pulmonary Hypertension

摘要

ObjectivePrognosis in pulmonary hypertension is largely determined by right ventricular (RV) function. However, uncertainty remains about what metrics of RV function might be most clinically relevant. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical relevance of metrics of RV functional adaptation to increased afterload.
