The function of the right ventricle determines the fate of patients with pulmonary
hypertension. Since right heart failure is the consequence of increased afterload, a full …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a pathophysiological disorder that may involve multiple
clinical conditions and may be associated with a variety of cardiovascular and respiratory …

Making a firm diagnosis of chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
remains a challenge. We recommend a new stepwise diagnostic process, the 'HFA–PEFF …

Survivors from COVID-19 pneumonia can present with persisting multisystem involvement
(lung, pulmonary vessels, heart, muscle, red blood cells) that may negatively affect exercise …

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

Since the 1st World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension (WSPH) in 1973, pulmonary
hypertension (PH) has been arbitrarily defined as mean pulmonary arterial pressure …

There is growing recognition of the clinical importance of pulmonary haemodynamics during
exercise, but several questions remain to be elucidated. The goal of this statement is to …

Pulmonary hypertension is a common hemodynamic complication of heart failure. Interest in
left-sided pulmonary hypertension has increased remarkably in recent years because its …

The right and the left ventricle are interdependent as both structures are nested within the
pericardium, have the septum in common and are encircled with common myocardial fibres …

The inherent assumptions of the PVR equation are that (mPAP− LAP)/CO relationships are
linear and cross the line of origin. If these assumptions are correct, PVR should be …
