Hemodynamic and metabolic characteristics associated with development of a right ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient during upright exercise.

We recently reported a novel observation that many patients with equal resting supine right ventricular(RV) and pulmonary artery(PA) systolic pressures develop an RV outflow tract(RVOT) pressure gradient during upright exercise. The current work details the characteristics of patients who develop su...
