The prevalence of heart failure is on the rise and imposes a major health threat, in part, due
to the rapidly increased prevalence of overweight and obesity. To this point …

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 …

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

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 …

In pulmonary hypertension, the right ventricle adapts to the increasing vascular load by
enhancing contractility (“coupling”) to maintain flow. Ventriculoarterial coupling implies that …

Survival in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is closely related to right
ventricular (RV) function. Although pulmonary load is an important determinant of RV …

Aim Right heart function is not well characterized in patients with heart failure and preserved
ejection fraction (HFpEF). The goal of this study was to examine the haemodynamic, clinical …

Background: Right ventricular (RV) adaptation to acute and chronic pulmonary hypertensive
syndromes is a significant determinant of short-and long-term outcomes. Although …

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