There is increasing recognition of the crucial role of the right ventricle (RV) in determining
functional status and prognosis in multiple conditions. The normal RV is anatomically and …

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare dyspnoea-fatigue syndrome caused by a
progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and eventual right ventricular (RV) …

Background: The ratios of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)/
echocardiographically measured systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PASP), fractional area …

Background: Right ventricular (RV) maladaptation and failure determine outcome in
pulmonary hypertension. The adaptation of RV function to loading (RV-pulmonary arterial …

The pulmonary circulation is a low-resistance, low-pressure, and high-compliance system
that allows the lungs to receive the entire cardiac output. Pulmonary arterial pressure is a …

The contribution of the right ventricle (RV) to cardiac output is negligible in normal resting
conditions when pressures in the pulmonary circulation are low. However, the RV becomes …

Substantial progress has been made in the management of pulmonary arterial hypertension
(PAH) in the past 25 years, but the disease remains life-limiting. Established therapies for …

Objectives: This study sought to compare cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging-
derived right ventricular (RV) strain and invasively measured pressure-volume loop-derived …

Adaptation of right ventricular (RV) function to increased afterload—known as RV–arterial
coupling—is a key determinant of prognosis in pulmonary hypertension. However …

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is the most important determinant of survival in patients
with pulmonary hypertension (PH). The manifestations of RV dysfunction not only include …
