Why the study?
Severe pulmonary valve regurgitation can lead to right ventricular dysfunction, but its specific impact within the broader heart failure population requires further clarification.
Is the severity of pulmonary valve regurgitation associated with higher pro-BNP levels and reduced functional capacity in patients with heart failure?
Is the severity of pulmonary valve regurgitation associated with higher pro-BNP levels and reduced functional capacity in patients with heart failure?
In patients with heart failure, increasing severity of pulmonary regurgitation is independently associated with worse functional capacity, higher pro-BNP levels, and a higher burden of clinical complications.
