Septal Curvature Is Marker of Hemodynamic, Anatomical, and Electromechanical Ventricular Interdependence in Patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

The objective of this study was to determine the factors independently associated with septal curvature in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
