Surfing the right ventricular pressure waveform: methods to assess global, systolic and diastolic RV function from a clinical right heart catheterization

Right ventricular (RV) function strongly associates with mortality in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Current methods to determine RV function require temporal measurements of pressure and volume. The aim of the study was to investigate the feasibility of using right heart cathe...
