Abstract:ObjectivesRight ventricular (RV)–pulmonary arterial (PA) coupling is important in various cardiac diseases. Recently, several echocardiographic surrogates for RV–PA coupling have been proposed and reported to be useful in predicting outcomes. However, it remains unclear which surrogate is the most clinically relevant. This study aimed to comprehensively compare the prognostic value of different echocardiographic RV–PA coupling surrogates.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 242 patients with various cardiac cond… Show more
