Prognostic implications of pulmonary wave reflection and reservoir pressure in patients with pulmonary hypertension

Prognostic implications of pulmonary wave reflection and reservoir pressure in patients with pulmonary hypertension

Background: Right ventricular (RV) coupling to the pulmonary circulation influences the response of the RV to the increased afterload caused by pulmonary hypertension (PH), which ultimately determines prognosis. A methodology that accounts for pulsatile flow is required when assessing ventriculo-art...
