Popis: Aim: To determine whether right atrial (RA) function has prognostic value in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).Methods and results: Overall, 104 patients (70 female, mean age 58 +/- 13 years) with idiopathic PAH underwent standard Doppler echocardiography and strain and strain rate (SR) analysis before right heart catheterization. At a mean follow-up of 22 +/- 7 months, 30 patients (29%) had clinical worsening. On Cox multivariable proportional-hazards regression analysis, RA reservoir function measured as peak longitudinal SR (hazard ratio [HR] 0.5; P < 0.0001), RA area (HR 1.2; P < 0.01), right ventricular (RV) SR (HR 0.6; P < 0.0001), cardiac index (HR 0.79; P < 0.01), and mixed venous oxygen saturation (HR 0.82; P < 0.01) were found to be independent correlates of cardiac events. A RA SR reservoir cut-off value of
