Despite advances in imaging, right-heart catheterization (RHC), also called pulmonary artery catheterization, is the gold standard for the assessment of the pulmonary circulation and the right ventricle in healthy and disease states. RHC is mandatory to establish the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension...

As in all studies, it is therefore critical that all information obtained from the echocardiographic examination be considered in the final interpretation. Table 1.

(Fig.7g). Similarly, gene expression of 22 available paired samples showed a mixed pattern (Fig.7h), in line with the interpretation that averaged mRNA expression data obtained from two different regions of the heart (RV wall and septum) in a clinically heterogeneous cohort of patients are ...

According to contemporary CI measured by right heart catheterization at the time blood sample was drawn, PAH patients were categorized as cRV (CI > 2.2 L/[min·m2] and dRV (CI ≤ 2.2 L/[min·m2]. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Statistical analyses were performed ...
Hemodynamic data were obtained during the right heart catheterization closest to the LVAD implantation. Pulmonary artery (PA) pulsatility index (PAPi) was calculated as PA systolic-PA diastolic pressure/right atrial (RA) pressure. PA pulse pressure (PAPP) was calculated as PA systolic-PA d...

Interestingly, Jackson finds in Eliot a philosophical sophistication that eludes her immediate predecessors and paradoxically confronts her with the crisis all right-reading necessarily invites: plurality of interpretation. The Subject of Modernism The heart of this 50-mm finder unit is a 90[degrees]er...
