The right ventricular outflow tract in pediatric pulmonary hypertension —Data from the European Pediatric Pulmonary Vascular Disease Network

ConclusionsIn pediatric PH cohort, the RVOT VTI is decreased, and the TRV/RVOT VTI ratio and the RVOT diameter increased compared to healthy subjects. Assessment of RVOT variables, together with established RV parameters, allows for a comprehensive assessment of global right heart size and performance in children with PH.
