Table 1.
Baseline data, groups divided with regard to findings from right heart catheterization.
Figure 1.
Incremental diagnostic value of apical strain and E/é in addition to echocardiographically determined sPAP for identification of patients with precapillary PH.
AUC, area under the curve; CI, confidence interval; sPAP, systolic pulmonary arterial pressure; RVSl, right ventricular longitudinal strain.
Figure 2.
Patient distribution according to results of right heart catheterization; flow chart of the study design.
PH, postcapillary pulmonary hypertension; RHC, right heart catheterization; TTE, transthoracic echocardiography; sPAP, systolic pulmonary arterial pressure; RVaSl, apical right ventricular longitudinal strain.

Right ventricular speckle tracking and 3 dimensional visualisation of longitudinal right ventricular strain values.
Right ventricular; 3D, three dimensional; RVSl, right ventricular longitudinal strain.
