Why the study?
Does RV-pulmonary arterial coupling predict survival in patients referred for pulmonary hypertension?
Does RV-pulmonary arterial coupling predict survival in patients referred for pulmonary hypertension?
RV-pulmonary arterial coupling serves as a predictor of survival in patients referred for pulmonary hypertension.
May aid PH risk stratification via RV-PA coupling; leaves open whether targeting it improves survival.
The adequacy of RV functional adaptation to afterload predicts survival in patients referred for PH. Whether this can simply be evaluated using RV volumetric imaging will require additional confirmation.
