    Abstract Background Pulmonary vascular distensibility associates with right ventricular function and clinical outcomes in patients with unexplained dyspnea and pulmonary hypertension. Alpha distensibility coefficient is determined from a nonlinear fit to multipoint pressure-flow plots. Study aims were to (1) create and test a user-friendly tool to standardize analysis of exercise hemodynamics including distensibility, and (2) investigate changes in distensibility following treatment in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Methods and Results Participants with an exercise right heart catherization were retrospectively identified from the University of Arizona Pulmonary Hypertension (UA PH) registry and split into a pulmonary arterial hypertension group, a comparator group, and a control group. Right ventricular function was quantified using the coupling ratio and diastolic stiffness. Prototypes of the invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing (iCPET) calculator were developed using Matlab, Python, and RShiny to analyze exercise hemodynamics and alpha distensibility coefficient, α (%/mm Hg) from multipoint pressure flow plots. Interclass correlation coefficients were calculated for interplatform and interobserver variability in alpha. No significant bias in the intraplatform (Matlab versus RShiny; intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.996) or interobserver (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.982) comparison of alpha values. Afterload significantly decreased (

    Abstract Background: Quantifying right ventricular (RV) function is important to describe the pathophysiology of in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Current phenotyping strategies in PH rely on few invasive hemodynamic parameters to quantify RV dysfunction severity. The aim of this study was to identify novel RV phenotypes using unsupervised clustering methods on advanced hemodynamic features of RV function.
    Methods: Participants were identified from the University of Arizona Pulmonary Hypertension Registry (n = 190). RV-pulmonary artery coupling (Ees/Ea), RV systolic (Ees), and diastolic function (Eed) were quantified from stored RV pressure waveforms. Consensus clustering analysis with bootstrapping was used to identify the optimal clustering method. Pearson correlation analysis was used to reduce collinearity between variables. RV cluster subphenotypes were characterized using clinical data and compared to pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) quintiles.
    Results: Five distinct RV clusters (C1-C5) with distinct RV subphenotypes were identified using k-medoids with a Pearson distance matrix. Clusters 1 and 2 both have low diastolic stiffness (Eed) and afterload (Ea) but RV-PA coupling (Ees/Ea) is decreased in C2. Intermediate cluster (C3) has a similar Ees/Ea as C2 but with higher PA pressure and afterload. Clusters C4 and C5 have increased Eed and Ea but C5 has a significant decrease in Ees/Ea. Cardiac output was high in C3 distinct from the other clusters. In the PVR quintiles, contractility increased and stroke volume decreased as a function of increased afterload. World Symposium PH classifications were distributed across clusters and PVR quintiles.
    Conclusions: RV-centric phenotyping offers an opportunity for a more precise-medicine-based management approach.

    Abstract Background: Multiparametric risk assessment is used in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) to target therapy. However, this strategy is imperfect because most patients remain at intermediate or high risk after initial treatment, with low risk being the goal. Metrics of right ventricular (RV) adaptation are promising tools that may help refine our therapeutic strategy.
    Research question: Does RV adaptation predict therapeutic response over time?
    Study design and methods: We evaluated 52 incident treatment-naive patients with advanced PAH by catheterization and cardiac imaging longitudinally at baseline, follow-up 1 (∼3 months), and follow-up 2 (∼18 months). All patients received goal-directed therapy with parenteral treprostinil and/or combination therapy with treatment escalation if functional class I or II was not achieved. On the basis of their therapeutic response, patients were evaluated at follow-up 1 as nonresponders (died) or as responders, and again at follow-up 2 as super-responders (low risk) or partial responders (high/intermediate risk). Multiparametric risk was based on a simplified European Respiratory Society/European Society of Cardiology guideline score. RV adaptation was evaluated with the single-beat coupling ratio (Ees/Ea) and diastolic function with diastolic elastance (Eed). Data are expressed as mean ± SD or as OR (95% CI).
    Results: Nine patients (17%) were nonresponders. PAH-directed therapy improved the European Respiratory Society low-risk score from 1 (2%) at baseline to 23 (55%) at follow-up 2. Ees/Ea at presentation was nonsignificantly higher in responders (0.9 ± 0.4) vs nonresponders (0.6 ± 0.4; P = .09) but could not be used to predict super-responder status at follow-up 2 (OR, 1.40 [95% CI, 0.28-7.0]; P = .84). Baseline RV ejection fraction and change in Eed were successfully used to predict super-responder status at follow-up 2 (OR, 1.15 [95% CI, 1.0-1.27]; P = .009 and OR, 0.29 [95% CI, 0.86-0.96]; P = .04, respectively).
    Interpretation: In patients with advanced PAH, RV-pulmonary arterial coupling could not discriminate irreversible RV failure (nonresponders) at presentation but showed a late trend to improvement by follow-up 2. Early change in Eed and baseline RV ejection fraction were the best predictors of therapeutic response.

    Abstract Background: People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) are at risk of developing pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, but understanding of the relationship of RV function to afterload (RV-PA coupling) is limited. We evaluated the clinical and hemodynamic characteristics of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated PH.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients with a diagnosis of HIV undergoing right heart catheterization (RHC) from 2000-2016 in a tertiary care center. Inclusion criteria were diagnosis of HIV, age ≥ 18 years and availability of RHC data. PH was classified as either pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH; mean pulmonary arterial pressure [mPAP] ≥ 25mmHg with pulmonary artery wedge pressure [PAWP] ≤ 15mmHg) or pulmonary venous hypertension (PVH; mPAP ≥ 25mmHg with PAWP > 15). We collected demographics, CD4 cell count, HIV viral load, RHC and echocardiographic data. The single beat method was used to calculate RV-PA coupling from RHC.
    Results: Sixty-two PLWH with a clinical likelihood for PH underwent RHC. Thirty-two (52%) met PH criteria (15 with PAH, 17 with PVH). Average time from diagnosis of HIV to diagnosis of PH was 11 years. Eleven of 15 individuals with PAH were on antiretroviral therapy (ART) while all 17 patients with PVH were on ART. Compared to PLWH without PH, those with PH had an increased likelihood of having a detectable HIV viral load and lower CD4 cell counts. PLWH with PAH or PVH had increased RV afterload with normal RV contractility, and preserved RV-PA coupling.
    Conclusion: PLWH with PH (PAH or PVH) were more likely to have a detectable HIV viral load and lower CD4 count at the time of RHC. PLWH with PAH or PVH had increased RV afterload, normal RV contractility, with preserved RV-PA coupling suggestive of an early onset, mild, and compensated form of PH. These results should be confirmed in larger studies.
