There is a scarcity of data defining hemodynamic correlates of renal function in pulmonary
hypertension (PH). The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between standard
and novel hemodynamic indices, including the pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) and
the right atrial to pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (RA: PCWP) ratio, and renal function
in PH. We conducted a retrospective study of adult patients with PH diagnosed by right-heart
catheterization (RHC) between January 2007 and October 2012 at Einstein Medical Center …
