Aims: Impairment of right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery coupling (RV-PA coupling) is a major determinant of poor prognosis in patients with pulmonary hypertension. This study sought to evaluate the ability of an echo-derived metric of RV-PA coupling, the ratio between tricuspid annular plane systoli...
