Reduced RVSWI Is Associated With Increased Mortality in Connective Tissue Disease Associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Rationale: The prognosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension is poor, especially amongst patients with connective tissue disease related pulmonary arterial hypertension. Right ventricular contractility is known to be decreased in scleroderma related pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, it is not...
