Evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function profile in patients with pulmonary hypertension due to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

ConclusionsThe profile of LV diastolic dysfunction by conventional echocardiography is highly variable in patients with PH‐HFpEF and has no significant impact on long‐term survival. A more severe RV function and higher right ventricle systolic pressure were associated with worse survival.
