This article discusses a new algorithm for assessing right ventricular function in patients with pulmonary hypertension. The algorithm simplifies the calculation of right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) by using only three points on the right ventricular pressure curve. The algorithm was validated using retrospective data from 99 patients and showed good correlation with conventional methods. It was also able to accurately track changes in RVEF over time in a prospective analysis. While the algorithm may not be as precise as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, it provides a valuable tool for clinicians to monitor right ventricular function in real-time and make informed decisions in managing patients with pulmonary hypertension.
