Impact of diastolic pulmonary gradient and pulmonary artery pulse index on outcomes in heart transplant patients—Results from the Eurotransplant database

Impact of diastolic pulmonary gradient and pulmonary artery pulse index on outcomes in heart transplant patients—Results from the Eurotransplant database

BackgroundPredicting complications associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH) after cardiac transplantation is an important factor when considering cardiac transplantation. The transpulmonary gradient (TPG) is recommended to quantify PH in transplant candidates. Nonetheless, PH remains a common dri...
