Does Pulmonary Arterial Capacitance (PAC) predict long-term prognosis in Advanced Heart Failure?
Pulmonary arterial capacitance is strongly related to RV dysfunction, poor long-term prognosis, and response to therapy in advanced heart failure.
PAC bundles the effects of PVR and left-sided filling pressures on RV afterload, explaining its strong relation with RV dysfunction, poor long-term prognosis, and response to therapy.
