Highlights the limitations of resting echocardiographic and CMR assessments of right ventricular function and emphasizes the importance of exercise evaluation in CTEPH patients.
Houston et al. (2015) conducted an editorial in Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Evaluation of the right ventricle during exercise vs. At-rest evaluation was evaluated. At-rest evaluations of right ventricular function are load-dependent and do not represent true contractile function.
