Abstract
- The golden ratio (phi, Φ = 1.618) is a proportion that has been found in many phenomena in nature, including the cardiovascular field. We tested the hypothesis that the systolic over mean pulmonary artery pressure ratio (sPAP/mPAP) and the mean over diastolic pressure ratio (mPAP/dPAP) may match Φ in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and in control patients.
