Does right ventricular remodeling and function differ depending on the etiology of pulmonary hypertension?
Patients with Eisenmenger syndrome demonstrate better right ventricular performance and more hypertrophy compared to other pulmonary hypertension etiologies, potentially contributing to their better survival.
