Sex-Specific Differences in Echocardiographic Parameters of Risk Stratification in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
This is the first study focusing on sex differences in right heart size obtained by echocardiography in patients with PAH. For risk stratification indexing RA area to body surface area could be more reflective of body composition. In contrast, TAPSE/sPAP values were not sex dependent and were a robust prognostic factor in patients with PAH.
