Hemodynamics, 6-min walking distance (6MWD) and right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS) at baseline and follow-up in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) patients with RVFWLS ≥ 12% and < 12% mPAP (A), PVR (B), 6MWD (C), and RVFWLS(D) at baseline and follow-up in CTEPH patients with RVFWLS ≥ 12% and < 12%. At baseline, RVFWLS < 12% vs RVFWLS ≥ 12% (mPAP: 51.4 ± 6.4 mmHg vs 50.3 ± 10.4 mmHg, p = 0.669; PVR: 1008.5 ± 326.1 dyn·s·cm-5 vs 845.8 ± 333.8 dyn·s·cm-5, p = 0.088; 6MWD: 275.3 ± 110.4 m vs 394.7 ± 121.4 m, p = 0.001; RVFWLS: 9.5 ± 1.6% vs 18.2 ± 4.3%, p < 0.001). mPAP, mean pulmonary artery pressure; PVR, pulmonary vascular resistance
