Methods for evaluating right ventricular function and ventricular –arterial coupling
This article will discuss assessment of RVF and evaluation of the Right Ventricle-Pulmonary Artery (RV-PA) coupling relationship.Cardiac imaging modalities allow direct visualization and assessment of RVF. Imaging modalities include the commonly utilized echo-Doppler imaging evaluating RV fractional area change, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and Tissue Doppler Imaging, in addition to the increasingly utilized cardiac magnetic resonance.

Group 2 PH: Medical Therapy
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) secondary to left heart disease, classified as Group 2, is a widely underestimated target of therapy. Prevention and treatment of initial subclinical stages are not valued as a priority in the management of this chronic disease population, whereas attention is high for PH consequences in patients with advanced heart failure (HF) requiring a left ventricular mechanical assist device or heart transplant candidates. Even so, there is a growing interest toward the evidence of a clinical and prognostic role of PH in the elderly populations and in HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). (Source: ...

Pulmonary Hypertension in Aortic Stenosis and Mitral Regurgitation: Rest and Exercise Echocardiography Significance
Valvular heart disease is a common cause of increased mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP). Aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation are frequently accompanied by pulmonary hypertension (PH), especially when they are severe and symptomatic. In asymptomatic patients, PH is rare, though the exact prevalence is unknown and mainly stems from the severity of the valvular heart disease and the presence of diastolic dysfunction. Exercise echocardiography has recently gained interest in depicting PH. In these asymptomatic patients, exercise PH is observed in about > 40%. (Source: Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases)

Group 2 Pulmonary Hypertension Special Issue
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) secondary to left heart disease, classified as Group 2 PH, is the most prevalent form of PH that is increasing in prevalence and incidence1 and incorporates any left heart disorder, including valvular heart disease (VHD) and congenital heart disease but is most frequently studied in heart failure (HF) of both reduced and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as the primary conditions.2 There is an impressive increasing interest on Group 2 PH and its prognostic consequences.
