The interaction between the pulmonary artery (PA) circulation and the right ventricle (RV) and association with outcomes is incompletely understood. The effective PA elastance (PA Ea) is a composite measure of RV afterload that refers to the pulmonary vascular load that the RV must overcome to eject blood. Whether PA Ea discriminates mortality risk in unselected patients with significant TR is unknown.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In consecutive patients with \u2265moderate TR, we compared all-cause mortality at 5 years based on the PA Ea (defined as the RV systolic pressure\/stroke volume as measured by transthoracic echocardiography). In a total of 12 682 patients, the median PA Ea was 0.7\u2005mm Hg\/mL (interquartile range 0.5, 0.9). Increasing levels of PA Ea were associated with heart failure, liver and kidney disease, and clinical markers of risk such as the Tricuspid Regurgitation Impact on Outcomes score. Increasing levels of PA Ea were associated with larger RVs, worse RV systolic function, higher N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels, and greater degrees of right heart failure. After adjusting for age and sex, PA Ea was associated with higher risk of death (hazard ratio 1.55 per 0.5\u2005mm Hg\/mL change of PA Ea; 95% confidence intervals 1.51\u20131.60; P &amp;lt; 0.0001). In multivariable modelling incorporating available clinical variables, PA Ea was independently predictive of outcome compared with other indexes of RV\u2013PA coupling.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In patients with significant TR, higher PA Ea is progressively associated with RV dysfunction, right heart failure, and worse survival.
