Prognostic values of right ventricular echocardiography functional parameters for mortality prediction in precapillary pulmonary hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Echocardiographic prognostic indicators of precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) mortality has been inconclusive. This study aims to examine the prognostic values of right ventricular echocardiographic functional parameters in predicting precapillary PH mortality.

Methods

Systematic searches were conducted in the ScienceDirect, Medline, and Cochrane databases for longitudinal studies. Assessments included means and hazard ratios (HRs) for Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE), Right Ventricular Systolic Pressure (RVSP), Right Ventricular Longitudinal Strain (RVLS), Right Ventricular Fractional Area Change (RVFAC), Right Ventricular Ejection Fraction (RVEF), and Right Ventricular Index of Myocardial Performance (RIMP).

Results

The meta-analys
