Population

Patients with chronic pulmonary hypertension associated with disorders of the respiratory system or hypoxemia

Outcome

Right atrial size and systolic functionsurrogate

Right atrial size and systolic function increase in chronic pulmonary hypertension, correlating with pulmonary artery systolic pressure levels.

Abstract

In patients with chronic PH, RA size and systolic function significantly increase and parallel signs of activation of the Frank-Starling mechanism in both right chambers. The magnitude of these phenomena is positively related to PASP levels.
