Does right ventricle to pulmonary artery coupling predict adverse outcomes in patients with significant primary mitral regurgitation?
This study evaluates the association between right ventricle to pulmonary artery coupling and adverse outcomes in patients with primary mitral regurgitation.
In patients with significant primary mitral regurgitation (PMR), both elevated pulmonary pressure and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are associated with adverse outcomes. 1,2 However, the adaptation of the RV to increased pulmonary pressures can vary, even within ranges of RV function considered normal. The concept of coupling the RV to pulmonary artery (PA) has therefore been introduced to describe the match between the
Elmasry et al. (Sat,) conducted a observational in Primary mitral regurgitation (PMR). Right ventricle to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling was evaluated.
