Objectives: To evaluate how pulmonary artery (PA) distensibility performs in detecting pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease (PH-LHD) in comparison with parameters from ungated computed tomography (CT) and echocardiography.
Methods: One hundred patients (79 men, mean age = 63 ± 17 years) with either severe heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), aortic stenosis, or primary mitral regurgitation prospectively underwent right heart catheterization, ungated CT, ECG-gated CT, and echocardiography. During the ECG-gated CT, the right PA distensibility was calculated.
