Abstract
ACT, PAPd/TR, PAPs and mean PAP have been shown to accurately classify patients with chronic heart failure with or without pulmonary hypertension. In particular, ACT and PAPd/TR alone allowed reliable and accurate definition of pulmonary hypertension in 94% of patients, regardless of right ventricular function or degree of tricuspid regurgitation. Non-invasive pulmonary pressure assessment by the referred method might be useful in the evaluation of heart transplant candidates.
