Abstract Right ventricular (RV)‐pulmonary arterial uncoupling is the consequence of increased afterload and/or decreased RV contractility. However, the combination of arterial elastance (Ea) and end‐systolic elastance (Ees)/Ea ratio to assess RV function is unclear. We hypothesized that the combinat...
