Catheterization
RV systolic pressure (mmHg) 55±18 58±18 54±18 0.13
RV diastolic pressure (mmHg) 14±7 16±7 13±7 <0.001
Cardiac output (Liters/min) 3.9 [3.1, 4.7] 4.0 [3.3, 5.0] 3.7 [3.0, 4.6] 0.08

Normal data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. Non-normal data are presented as the median [interquartile range]. LV – left ventricular; LA – left atrial; TR – tricuspid regurgitation; RV – right ventricular.
