Right ventricular (RV) dyssynchrony has been related to outcome in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Prospectively, we performed echocardiography with measurement of right ventricular dyssynchrony and pressure-volume loop catheterization in 27 pulmonary arterial hypertension patients. Afterload and diastolic function emerged as determinates of wall stress, which results in dyssynchrony.
