RVD was defined as Pulmonary Artery Pulsatility Index &lt;1.85 and right atrial pressure (RAP)\/pulmonary artery wedge pressure ratio &gt;0.63. Two substudies were conducted: Study A assessed the relationship between CO and haemodynamic parameters derived from right heart catheterisation (RHC) and Study B evaluated the prognostic value of haemodynamic indices in RVD. The primary outcome of Study B was a composite of all-cause death and heart failure hospitalisation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 202 RHC examinations from 155 patients (median age 69 years, 66% male) were analysed. In Study A, cardiac output was highest at an RAP of approximately 10\u201315 mm Hg and declined beyond this level. CO showed a non-linear association with heart rate in sinus rhythm, reaching its peak at around 80 beats per minute. In Study B, 34 patients experienced the primary outcome during a median follow-up of 1.4 years. Those who experienced the primary outcome had higher RAP and lower pulmonary artery (PA) compliance. In Kaplan-Meier analysis, RAP &gt;10 mm Hg (median) and PA compliance &lt;4.9 mL\/mm Hg (median) were associated with the primary outcome (p=0.004 and p=0.005, respectively). On multivariable Cox regression analysis, PA compliance &lt;4.9 mL\/mm Hg was a predictor of the primary outcome, while RAP &gt;10 mm Hg was not.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In patients with RVD, CO was highest at an RAP of 10\u201315 mm Hg.
