A method for estimating right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) from RV pressure waveforms was recently validated in an experimental model. Currently, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the clinical reference standard for measurement of RVEF in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that the pressure‐based method can detect clinically significant reductions in RVEF as determined by cardiac MRI in patients with PAH.
