In patients with greater than or equal to moderate TR with and without PH, lower PAPi is associated with right ventricular dysfunction, right heart failure, and worse survival. Incorporating PA pressure and PAPi may help stratify disease severity in patients with greater than or equal to moderate TR regardless of aetiology.
