My Approach To Echocardiographic Assessment In Pulmonary Hypertension
Echocardiographic assessment of PH probability
Echocardiographic PH probability can be classified as low, intermediate, or high. This categorization is based on the assessment of peak tricuspid regurgitation (TR) velocity and the presence of indirect signs suggestive of increased pulmonary vascular bed pressure ( ). ,
Peak TR velocity is the key criterion and should be measured by continuous-wave Doppler during smooth respiration according to the following recommendations: , – ( ).
