Impact of Thermodilution on Indexed Pulmonary Vascular Resistance Calculations in Pediatric Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Daiji Takajo, Paul J. Critser, Russel HirschCincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and University of Cincinnati.United States Pediatric PulmonologyPediatr Pulmonol 2026; 61:DOI: 10.1002/ppul.71787 AbstractBackground: Accurate assessment of pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRi) is essential for the diagnosis and management of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). PVRi depends on pulmonary blood flow (Qp), which can be determined by thermodilution or […]
