Abstract
Group 3 pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients have disproportionate right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) compared to pulmonary arterial hypertension. We evaluated how sex and PH etiology modulated RVD. Strain echocardiography showed no intrasex differences between PH types. Heightened RVD in Group 3 PH may be due to a greater male proportion.
