Abstract
Background
Lung transplantation requires meticulous preoperative assessment. Recipients with Group 3 pulmonary hypertension can be at higher risk of mortality and primary graft dysfunction (PGD). We conducted a study to determine whether the right ventricular stroke work index (RVSWI), a right-heart catheterisation haemodynamic indicator assessing right ventricle function, could predict 1-year survival in this setting.
