Introduction: Risk prediction in acute heart failure (AHF) has led to the development of multiple prognostic models. Emerging data highlight the prognostic significance of right ventricular (RV) to pulmonary artery (PA) uncoupling, which has been linked to adverse outcomes. Among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF), a highly heterogeneous group, the prognostic relevance of RV-PA uncoupling in forecasting long-term mortality is still not well defined.

Right ventricular (RV) coupling to pulmonary artery (PA) pressure is a key parameter in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Oxylipins, a class of fatty acid signaling molecules that regulate inflammation, may be associated with RV-PA uncoupling. We sought to determine the association of RV-PA uncoupling with clinical outcomes in HFpEF and to discover oxylipins associated with RV-PA uncoupling.

Background: The TAPSE/PASP ratio reflects right ventricle-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling and has prognostic value in patients with heart failure, regardless of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The objective of this study was to assess the prognostic impact of the TAPSE/PASP ratio in elderly patients hospitalized for acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Methods: Prospective, observational, and single-center cohort study included patients aged ≥75 years, hospitalized for HFpEF (LVEF >50 %) from September 2019 to December 2023.

Background: The precise impact of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) on the right ventricle-pulmonary circulation unit remains unclear.
Research Question: Are there any differences regarding resting and exercise right ventricular function in patients with CVRFs but without overt cardiovascular disease when compared with healthy control patients?
Study Design And Methods: We extracted from the Right Heart International Network international registry the data of 362 patients with at least 1 CVRF but no overt cardiovascular disease, and 375 healthy control patients. All patients and control patients had undergone resting and exercise echocardiographic evaluations on a semirecumbent cycle ergometer.

Non-invasive right ventricular to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) uncoupling assessment has prognostic value in patients with heart failure (HF). Little is known about its application in patients with wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (wtATTR-CM). This single-centre retrospective study included consecutive patients with wtATTR-CM diagnosis undergoing 2D echocardiogram.
