Summary

We examined the feasibility and reliability of a combined echocardiographic and right heart catheterization (RHC) approach for right ventriculo/arterial (R-V/A) coupling assessment in HF patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (D-CMP).

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Ventriculo-arterial coupling assessment (R-V/A)

R-V/A was achieved by computing the R-Elv/P-Ea ratio (Right ventricular elastance/Pulmonary arterial elastance). R-Elv was computed as PAPm / end-systolic area (ESA) of the right ventricle. P-Ea was obtained as (PAPm-PCWP)/ right ventricle stroke volume (R-SV).
