Right ventricular (RV) afterload is commonly defined as pulmonary vascular resistance, but this does not reflect the afterload to pulsatile flow. The purpose of this study was to quantify RV afterload more completely in patients with and without pulmonary hypertension (PH) using a three-element windkessel model. The model consists of peripheral resistance (R), pulmonary arterial compliance (C), and characteristic impedance (Z). Using pulmonary artery pressure from right-heart catheterization…

The RC time remained unchanged after HTx, notwithstanding the fact that pulmonary capillary wedge pressure significantly decreased, and an increased HR may have an important effect on RC time and RV afterload.
RV adaptation to increased afterload in congenital heart disease and pulmonary hypertension

Key mediators of RV dysfunction observed in PH patients, were: prolonged RV free wall shortening, resulting in post-systolic shortening and intra-ventricular dyssynchrony, and decreased transverse function.
Advanced Right Ventricular Assessment: Pulmonary Artery Compliance and RV-PA Coupling
- Engineering

RV-PA coupling is the ratio of Ees/Ea and is roughly 2 under normal conditions and decreases as the RV decompensates, which not only provides a way to understand the relationship between the RV and pulmonary vasculature, but is also predictive of outcomes in PH.

During therapy for PH, R and C remain inversely related and changes in both R andC better explain changes in cardiac index than either of them alone.

The pulmonary RC time constant is decreased in proximal CTEPH compared with IPAH, pre- and post-PEA, which may be explained by increased wave reflection but also, importantly, by persistent structural changes after the removal of proximal obstructions.

Baseline DPG of ≥7mmHg compared to DPG <7 mmHg have persistently lower PCap and higher PVR post-LVAD, but the increase in peak VO2 was comparable despite these residual pulmonary vascular abnormalities.

Because the pulmonary artery constricts with increasing heart rate, Cps will be overestimated during procedures where heart rate increases, and Cd should be determined on a beat‐to‐beat basis to calculate flow because it changes with mean pulmonary arterial pressure and heart rate.
