Right ventricular systolic pressure - Non-invasive bedside predictor of mortality and readmission in heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction hospitalization.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To study the prognostic role of right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) in patients with heart failure (HF).

Background

Although RVSP is a readily available echocardiographic parameter, it is often underused. Its prognostic role in patients with heart failure is not well established compared with pulmonary artery pressure measured by right heart catheterization.

Methods

This single-center retrospective cohort study included patients with acute heart failure hospitalization admitted to the hospital from January 2005 to December 2018. The primary predictor was right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) obtained from bedside transthoracic echocardiography at admission. We divided RVSP into two groups, RVSP <40 mm Hg (reference group) and RVSP ≥40 mm Hg. Prim
