Right Ventricular Diastolic Performance in Children With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Associated With Congenital Heart Disease

Abstract

Echocardiography correlates with invasive reference measures of right ventricular diastolic function in children with PAH, although it does not differentiate between early versus late diastolic abnormalities. Newer echocardiographic techniques may have added value to assess right ventricular diastolic dysfunction in this population.
