Predictors and prognosis of right ventricular function in pulmonary hypertension due to heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Abstract Aims Failure of right ventricular (RV) function worsens outcome in pulmonary hypertension (PH). The adaptation of RV contractility to afterload, the RV‐pulmonary artery (PA) coupling, is defined by the ratio of RV end‐systolic to PA elastances (Ees/Ea). Using pressure–volume loop (PV‐L) tec...
