Pulmonary endarterectomy normalizes interventricular dyssynchrony and right ventricular systolic wall stress

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Interventricular mechanical dyssynchrony is a characteristic of pulmonary hypertension. We studied the role of right ventricular (RV) wall stress in the recovery of interventricular dyssynchrony, after pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA)...
