The right ventricular longitudinal strain (RVLS) of pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients and its relationship with RV function parameters measured by echocardiography and hemodynamic parameters measured by right heart catheterization was investigated. According to the WHO functional class (FC), 66 PH patients were divided into FC I/II (group 1) and III/IV (group 2). RV function parameters were measured by echocardiographic examinations. Hemodynamic parameters were obtained by right heart catheterization. Patients in group 2 had higher systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP;P< 0.05) than patients in group (1) significant between-group differences were observed in global RVLS (RVLSglobal), free wall RVLS (RVLSFW;P< 0.01), and RV conventional function parameters (allP< 0.05). Moreover, mPAP and PVR increased remarkably and CI decreased significantly in group (2) RVLSglobalhad a positive correlation with 6-min walking distance (6MWD;r= 0.492,P< 0.001) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP;r= 0.632,P< 0.001), while RVLSFWhad a positive correlation with 6MWD (r= 0.483,P< 0.001) and NT-proBNP (r= 0.627,P< 0.001). Hemodynamics analysis revealed that RVLSglobalhad a positive correlation with mPAP (r= 0.594,P< 0.001), PVR (r= 0.573,P< 0.001) and CI (r= 0.366,P= 0.003), while RVLSFWhad a positive correlation with mPAP (r= 0.597,P< 0.001), PVR (r= 0.577,P< 0.001) and CI (r= 0.369,P= 0.002). According to receiver operating characteristic curves, the optimal cut-off values of RVLSglobal(–15.0%) and RVLSFW(–15.3%) for prognosis detection with good sensitivity and specificity. Evidence has shown that RVLS measurement can provide the much-needed and reliable information on RV function and hemodynamics. Therefore, this qualifies as a patient-friendly approach for the clinical management of PH patients.
