Pulmonary Artery Pulse Wave Velocity in Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 2013
Idiopathic pulmonary artery (PA) hypertension (IPAH) is associated with severe PA remodelling. Although the resulting increase in pulse wave velocity (PWV) might be of major pathophysiological relevance, little is known about PA-PWV in IPAH. The aim of this study was to characterize PA-PWV and its predictors in patients with IPAH.We studied 26 ...
