Abstract
Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) plays a pivotal role in cardiac disease diagnosis and management. Right heart catheterization (RHC) invasively provides accurate PCWP measurement, but it is impractical for widespread use in all patients. The left atrial expansion index (LAEI), measured on transthoracic echocardiography, describes the relative left atrial volume increase during the left atrial reservoir phase. The aim of this study was...
