PULMONARY HYPERTENSION IN PATIENTS WITH LEFT HEART DISEASE: COMPARISON BETWEEN TRANSPULMONARY PRESSURE GRADIENT AND DIASTOLIC PULMONARY VASCULAR PRESSURE GRADIENT

A recent report suggested that diastolic pulmonary vascular pressure gradient (DPG) is more sensitive and specific indicator of out-of-proportion (OoP) pulmonary hypertension (PH) than transpulmonary pressure gradient (TPPG). The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and clinical
