Abstract
Similar to left ventricular and aortic pressure waveforms, augmentation pressure (AugPr) in the right ventricular (RV) pressure waveform is also frequent in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). This study sought to evaluate whether the degree of AugPr in RV pressure waveform has prognostic value. Forty-one patients (13 men; mean age = 50.7 ± 16.1 years) with group 1 PH (mean pulmonary artery pressure [mPAP] ≥ 25 mmHg) who underwent cardiac catheterization as part of their work-up were retrospectively enrolled. Patients were divided into three groups. Group A: AugPr/RV systolic pressure < 25%; group B: AugPr/RV systolic pressure ≥ 25%; and group C: no discernible AugPr but showing peaked RV pressure waveform. Ten patients were included in group A (male-to-female ratio 3:7; mean age = 45.9 ± 12.1 years), 12 in group B (4:8, 53.8 ± 14.6 years), and 19 in group C (6:13, 51.8 ± 18.7 years). No differences in mPAP were seen between the three groups. Pulse pressure was significantly higher in group C compared to group A. Eight patients died during the mean follow-up period of 35.9 ± 30.7 months; the incidence of death was significantly higher in group C than in the other groups (one patient in group A and seven patients in group C). AugPr in RV pressure waveform has prognostic value in patients with PH. Therefore, additional attention should be given to the RV pressure waveform in patients with PH undergoing invasive pressure measurements as a part of their work-up.
