Proud to share our new CIRCULATION paper, released alongside our #AHA2025 presentation: Sotatercept rapidly lowers pulmonary pressures and RV afterload within hours.

Key findings from the PV-loops:
➡️ Marked pressure reduction
➡️ Significant decrease in afterload (Ea)
➡️ RV-PA coupling nearly doubles (0.48 → 0.95)
➡️ Stroke work (area of PV-loop) decreases substantially
➡️ Unstressed volume (V0, intercept of Ees with x-axis) normalizes

💉 Treprostinil s.c. 60 ng/kg/min
💊 Macitentan 10 mg
💊 Tadalafil 40 mg

In this case, triple therapy not only lowers pulmonary pressures but also lets the RV work more efficiently — restoring RV-arterial coupling and reducing energetic strain.

What does initiation of upfront triple therapy in PAH mean for the right ventricle?

👇 Pressure–volume loops tell the story:

Thanks, Matt! In principle, the use is quite straightforward. You can simply export CSV or TXT files from your catheterization system and upload them. Calibration can then be done by entering CO or by volumetric data (MRI or echo). We’re currently working on a built-in user guide for the tool.

Method for generating right ventricular pressure–volume loops in routine practice
Analysis of pressure–volume (PV) loops from conductance catheterization is the gold standard for evaluating right ventricular (RV) function, but the complexity of conductance catheterization limits cl...
