CORRELATION OF A NEW ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC INDEX OF RIGHT VENTRICULAR REMODELING IN PULMONARY HYPERTENSION WITH INVASIVE HEMODYNAMICS IN RAT MODEL

Right ventricular (RV) remodeling is important to humans with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Small animal models of PH are used to investigate novel therapies, but assessment of RV remodeling is difficult. The aim was to compare a new RV remodeling index (echo RV to LV area ratio) to invasive
