Use of Right Ventricular Free-Wall Strain in a Multivariable Estimate of Right Ventricular-Arterial Coupling in Pediatric Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
In the pediatric population, baseline PVRi and echo-estimated PASP were strongly associated with adverse clinical outcomes, but TAPSE and RVFW-LS were not. Estimates of RVAC utilizing RVFW-LS were superior to those utilizing TAPSE-however, only marginally additive to PASP and PVRi at predicting the adverse clinical outcome in patients without a history of repaired congenital heart disease.
