Defining end-systolic pressure for single-beat estimation of right ventricle-pulmonary artery coupling: simple… but not really

ERJ Open Res. 2021 Aug 23;7(3):00219-2021. doi: 10.1183/23120541.00219-2021. eCollection 2021 Jul.

Abstract

Surrogates of right ventricle (RV) end-systolic pressure (ESP) used to determine RV-pulmonary artery coupling vary across studies. ESP using point of maximal time varying elastance provides most accurate estimate of actual ESP. https://bit.ly/3xuqX3B.
