Abstract

Abstract Background A novel echocardiographic algorithm for estimating pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (ePCWP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (ePVR) has been recently validated against right heart catheterization,1 demonstrating optimal diagnostic accuracy and strong prognostic value in a large cohort of patients with the suspicion of pulmonary hypertension, including heart failure (HF) patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
