Pulmonary artery elastance as a predictor of hospital mortality in heart failure cardiogenic shock

ConclusionsPulmonary artery elastance has been found to be the most powerful 24  h haemodynamic predictor of in-hospital death in patients with ADHF-CS. Age, 24 h PaE, and PAPi are independently associated with hospital mortality. PaE captures right ventriclar (RV) afterload mismatch and PAPi provides a metric of RV adaptation, thus their combination generates four distinct h aemodynamic phenotypes, enhancing in-hospital death risk stratification.
