Text: Patients with LV/RV < 2 had significantly higher right atrial pressures (20. 1 + / -5. 2 compared with 14. 5 + / -8. 9 mmHg, P = 0. 001) and lower RV fractional area change (20. 4 + / -8. 7 compared with 33. 5 + / -11. 0 %, P = 0. 0001), heart rate (87 + / -21 compared with 106 + / -23 beats/min, P = 0. 006) and cardiac index (1. 5 + / -0. 5 compared with 2. 0 + / -0. 9 l/min per m, P = 0. 007) than patients with LV/RV > or = 2.
