C69 CONTROVERSY: ASSESSING AND TREATING THE FAILING RIGHT VENTRICLE: Right Ventricular Outflow Tract- Velocity Time Integral And Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure Ratio: A Novel Non-Invasive Marker Of Pulmonary Arterial Compliance In Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Vs. Pulmonary Hypertension In Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Background: Pulmonary arterial compliance (PAC) is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Conclusion: RVOT-VTI/PASP, a novel non-invasive estimate of PAC, is significantly lower in patients with PAH compared to HFpEF-PH highlighting the need to further in...

Zusammenfassung: | Background: Pulmonary arterial compliance (PAC) is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Conclusion: RVOT-VTI/PASP, a novel non-invasive estimate of PAC, is significantly lower in patients with PAH compared to HFpEF-PH highlighting the need to further investigate the prognostic value and effect of therapy on this metric in both of these population. |
