Pulmonary Arterial Remodeling Is Related to the Risk Stratification and Right Ventricular-Pulmonary Arterial Coupling in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

BackgroundPulmonary arterial (PA) stiffness has an essential contribution to the right ventricular (RV) failure pathogenesis. A comprehensive and multiparameter risk assessment allows predicting mortality and guiding treatment decisions in PA hypertension (PAH). We characterize PA remodeling with in...
