Relationship Between RNF213 p.R4810K and Echocardiographic Findings in Patients with Cerebrovascular Diseases: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study by Kotaro Noda, Yorito Hattori, Tatsuya Nishii, Hiroki Horinouchi, Yuriko Nakaoku, Soshiro Ogata, Yasunobu Inagaki, Ryotaro Asano, Takeshi Yoshimoto, Kunihiro Nishimura, Takeshi Ogo, Yoshikazu Nakaoka, Masafumi Ihara

“…Conclusions A longer right ventricular outflow tract acceleration time may reflect an increased pulmonary vascular bed induced by abnormal vascular collateral networks and dilation of capillary vessels in peripheral pulmonary arteries in the preclinical stage of RNF213‐related pulmonary hypertension. Thus, the right ventricular outflow tract acceleration time marker in RNF213 p.R4810K carriers suggests a biphasic course from the presymptomatic to symptomatic phase. …”
