Variable Helicity (m/s2) Vorticity (1/s) (×100)
PH Group (n=35) Control Group (n=10) PH Group (n=35) Control Group (n=10)
MPA 8 (6–17) 32 (21–35)a 13.4 (11.9–18.7) 14.8 (13.3–16.9)
RVOT+MPA 15 (11–34) 42 (40–48)a 20.0 (16.0–23.9) 21.7 (19.0–24.1)
RPA 24 (15–33) 50 (42–57)a 26.0 (17.2–31.2) 44.9 (42.7–54.5)a
Total 46 (27–66) 92 (86–98)a 60.2 (49.5–71.6) 85.6 (76.5–92.8)a

Data are reported as median (interquartile range). MPA indicates main pulmonary artery; PH, pulmonary hypertension; RPA, right pulmonary artery; and RVOT, right ventricular outflow tract.
