Pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi), defined as [(pulmonary artery systolic pressure − diastolic pulmonary artery pressure)/mean right atrial pressure], is a novel haemodynamic index that predicts right ventricular failure after myocardial infarction and left ventricular assist device implantation. We analysed if a low PAPi is associated with death in our 14 ‐ year pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) registry.
