| Summary: | Pulmonary hypertension and right heart dysfunction often complicate the course of chronic heart failure. At the same time, the addition of these pathological conditions significantly increases the frequency of hospitalizations and worsens survival prognosis. That is why the assessment of the unfavorable outcome’s risk in the group of such patients is extremely important. This problem draws an interest for a more detailed study, considering the fact that the most convenient, accessible and minimally invasive prognosis marker has still being searched for nowadays. In this review article, which is based on the analysis of literature over the past 20 years dedicated to the problem of pulmonary hypertension and chronic heart failure, right ventricular-arterial coupling, has been considered as a relatively new parameter and as an example of one of these prognostic markers. This parameter can be assessed by echocardiography examination and our article describes several options of calculating it, including one of the most popular and valuable ratio of tricuspidal anular plane systolic excursion to the systolic pulmonary artery pressure (TAPSE/sPAP). |
