Feb 9, 2022 · We examined consecutive patients undergoing right heart catheterization between 2005 and 2016 in a hospital-based cohort. Multivariable Cox models were utilized to examine the association between PAPi and all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiac events, and heart failure hospitalizations.

The pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) is a novel hemodynamic index that predicts RVF in the setting of myocardial infarction, although it has not been shown to predict RVF after LVAD implantation.

Jul 6, 2022 · If you’re looking for PAPi in LVAD patients, CLICK HERE for an article that could help you. PAPi < 0.9 – indicates possible RV failure and that the clinician should consider RV support.

We explored the association of pulmonary artery compliance (PAC), pulmonary artery elastance (PAE), and pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) in addition to established parameters as preoperative determinants of postoperative RVF after CF-LVAD surgery.

Pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) is a hemodynamic parameter that is a specific measure of right ventricular function and may better identify LVAD recipients at risk for RVF. This systematic review analyzes the predictive value of preoperative PAPi to RVF in the setting of LVAD implantation.

Nov 10, 2023 · The pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) has been demonstrated previously to provide real-time quantification of RV systolic performance, and has further demonstrated utility in risk-stratifying recipients with LVADs for RVF. 2 However, data on PAPi use for detecting RVF after LVAD initiation are limited.

Apr 30, 2022 · Pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) is a hemodynamic parameter that is a specific measure of right ventricular function and may better identify LVAD recipients at risk for RVF. This systematic review analyzes the predictive value of preoperative PAPi to RVF in the setting of LVAD implantation.

Pulmonary artery pulstaility index (PAPi) is a newer hemodynamic measure found to predict RVF in myocardial infarction patients and has been increasingly applied to LVAD patients. Whether PAPi stratifies risk in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and …

Jul 1, 2021 · The pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) has been studied to predict right ventricular failure (RVF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, but only as a single time point before LVAD implantation.

Optimal PAPi achieved during medical optimization before LVAD implantation provides independent and incremental risk stratification for early RVF, likely identifying dynamic RV reserve.
