Right ventricular function mirrors clinical improvement with use of prostacyclin analogues in pediatric pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) causes significant morbidity and mortality in children due to right ventricular (RV) failure. We sought to determine the effect of prostacyclin analogues on RV function assessed by echocardiography in children with PH. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of children...
