Abstract:
Right ventricular-pulmonary artery coupling(RVPAC)refers to the relationship between right ventricular contractility and afterload.Normal RVPAC is maintained only when right ventricular function and pulmonary vascular resistance are appropriately matched.When right ventricular contractility cannot increase to match afterload,thus resulting in right ventricular dysfunction.RVPAC plays an important role in pathophysiology and progression of many cardiovascular diseases,which is crucial for the prognosis of patients.Therefore,early and accurate evaluation of RVPAC has great significance for patient's condition assessment,clinical decision-making,risk stratification and prognosis judgment.There are many evaluation methods currently,which can be divided into invasive and non-invasive methods,among which the non-invasive methods are mainly correlated with ultrasound.This review summarizes pathological mechanism and evaluation methods of RVPAC,advantages and disadvantages of each method and application value of RVPAC in various cardiovascular diseases.
