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

With significant therapeutic advances in the field of pulmonary arterial hypertension, the
need to identify clinically relevant treatment goals that correlate with long-term outcome has …

Pulmonary MRI provides structural and quantitative functional images of the lungs without
ionizing radiation, but it has had limited clinical use due to low signal intensity from the lung …

Rationale: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life-shortening condition. The
European Society of Cardiology and European Respiratory Society and the REVEAL (North …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is highly heterogeneous and despite treatment advances it
remains a life-shortening condition. There have been significant advances in imaging …

Rationale: Prognostication is important when counseling patients and defining treatment
strategies in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Objectives: To determine the value of …

Background Noninvasive diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) primarily relies upon
Doppler echocardiography of tricuspid regurgitation (TR). However, TR might be absent or …
