Abstract | BACKGROUND: Right ventricular pressure overload results in interventricular septal shift toward the left ventricle in patients with precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH). We aimed to investigate the predictive role of the duration of septal curvature configuration during the cardiac cycle, as expressed by the novel marker curvature duration index (CDi) in precapillary PH. |
