Right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
In patients with CTEPH, the echocardiographic TAPSE/PASP ratio as a measure of RV-PA coupling correlates well with invasively measured pulmonary vascular resistance. The TAPSE/PASP ratio improved after BPA or PEA treatments suggesting a potential use for monitoring patient outcomes. Further prospective studies are warranted to establish the prognostic value of the TAPSE/PASP ratio and ability to guide treatment decisions.
