Hemodynamic Testing Strategies to Assess Pulmonary Hypertension in Heart Failure

Heart Failure

The goal of this observational study is to learn about heart function and high lung blood pressure in patients with heart failure. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are whether we can improve the ability to predict patients who will have complications after they receive treatment including heart transplant and left ventricular assist devices.
