Structured PICO

Population

156 healthy volunteers with no known cardiovascular disease, mean age 36.1 years (range 19-61 years), 63% women.

Outcome

Association of pulmonary pulse wave velocity (PWV) with right ventricular (RV) function (peak systolic strain, strain rate, peak early-diastolic strain rate, RVEF) and RV mass.surrogate

In healthy individuals, increased pulmonary artery stiffness measured by CMR is independently associated with increased right ventricular mass and altered right ventricular function.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Should not change practice; hypothesis-generating for pulmonary artery stiffness and RV coupling in health.
