Right ventricular-pulmonary arterial coupling and afterload reserve in patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve repair
10 Feb 2022
The authors hypothesized that disordered right ventricular to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling may denote RV decompensation in patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVR) that may correlate with poor clinical outcomes.
