Abstract

Background T-wave peak-to-end interval (TPEI) is a measure of repolarization dispersion on surface electrocardiogram (ECG). TPEI has been reported as a prognostic parameter with heart disorders. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between echocardiogram-derived right heart parameters, right heart catheterization (RHC) measurements, and TPEI in patients with precapillary pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
