Right ventricular–pulmonary artery coupling (RV-PA coupling) refers to the relationship
between RV contractility and RV afterload. Normal RV-PA coupling is maintained only when …

The echocardiographic tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion/pulmonary artery systolic
pressure (TAPSE/PASP) ratio is a non-invasive surrogate of right ventricular-pulmonary …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) induces left ventricle reverse remodeling;
however, its effects on right ventricular (RV) volumes and function were not well described …

Aims Chronic pressure overload and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction can lead to RV–
pulmonary artery (PA) uncoupling in patients with heart failure. The evolution and prognostic …

Background: Right ventricular (RV) failure is an important predicting factor regarding overall
and event-free survival regardless of baseline left ventricular (LV) function in patients with …

Heart failure (HF), with its high morbidity and mortality, remains a global public health issue.
Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a sign of deterioration in the natural history of HF, and a …

Left ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) is a key determinant of global cardiovascular
performance, calculated as the ratio between arterial elastance (EA) and left ventricular end …

The tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)(transthoracic apical two-chamber
stretch) and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) ratio is a measure of cardiac function …

Introduction The ratio between tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and
estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) has been shown to be a reliable, non …

Background: Right ventricle-pulmonary arterial (RV-PA) coupling is considered the gold
standard for assessing right ventricular (RV) function and can be evaluated noninvasively by …
