—Typical Echocardiographic Findings in PAH and PH Due to HFpEF

PAH PH Due to HFpEF
RAE65,72,73 LAE65,74
RVH65 LVH75
Flattening and leftward bowing of the interventricular septum72,73
 E′ > 12 cm/s76 E′ ≤ 8 cm/s76
 E/E′ < 876,77 E/E′ > 1574,76,78

E = early mitral flow velocity; E′ = early mitral annular tissue Doppler velocity; HFpEF = heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. See Table 1 and 2 legends for expansion of other abbreviations.
