Differences in right ventricular morphology, not function, indicate the nature of increased afterload in pulmonary hypertensive subjects with normal left ventricular function.

Background The aim of study was to assess whether a specific morphology of the right ventricle ( RV) by 2D echo predicts the hemodynamic nature of pulmonary hypertension ( PH). Methods We reviewed clinical, 2D echo, and hemodynamic data of 100 patients with PH: divided into three groups: PH from pul...
