Background The role of right ventricular (RV) diastolic stiffness in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is not well established. Therefore, we investigated the presence and possible underlying mechanisms of RV diastolic stiffness in PAH patients.Methods and Results Single-beat RV pressure-volume analyses were performed in 21 PAH patients and 7 control subjects to study RV diastolic stiffness. Data are presented as meanSEM. RV diastolic stiffness () was significantly increased in PAH patients (PAH, 0.050 +/- 0.005 versus control, 0.029 +/- 0.003; P
