Right ventricular (RV) dyssynchrony has been related to outcome in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Prospectively, we performed echocardiography with measurement of right ventricular dyssynchrony and pressure–volume loop catheterization in 27 pulmonary arterial hypertension patients. Afterload and diastolic function emerged as determinates of wall stress, which results in dyssynchrony.
