Pulmonary hypertension (PH) determines various adaptive changes in right ventricular (RV) geometry which may progressively lead to hypertrophy, mechanical dysfunction and dilatation with pump failure. Right atrium (RA) is theoretically involved in this physiopathological process, but its role has never been investigated. We hypothesized that RA increases volume and function to assist RV during the chronic pressure overload exposition due to PH.
