Clinical correlates and reference intervals for pulmonary artery systolic pressure among echocardiographically normal subjects.
BACKGROUND Data in normal human subjects on the factors affecting pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) are limited. We determined the correlates of and established a reference range for PASP as determined by Doppler transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) from a clinical echocardiographic database of 102 818 patients, of whom 15 596 (15%) had a normal Doppler TTE study. METHODS AND RESULTS ...

متن کاملThe Estimation of Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure in Normal Pregnancy
Objective: To assess the effects of various stages of pregnancy as well as pregnant women age on the level of pulmonary artery systolic pressure. Methods: One hundred and thirty five healthy pregnant women, aged 18 to 42 years, were included in this study. They underwent voluntary transthoracic echocardiogram measurements of pulmonary artery systolic pressure at rest. Three groups of pregnant w...

Another point with regard to the PASP measurement of the patients in this study was made of tricuspid regurgitant jet. At the same time, the mean tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity was 1.7 ± 0.5 m/s in the patient population. When this value was analyzed, it gave the impression that sufficient flow was not obtained over the tricuspid valve. For this reason, since guidelines recommend to use con...
متن کاملClinical correlates of pulmonary artery systolic pressure.
Systolic Pressure To the Editor: In their study of echocardiographically normal subjects, Dr McQuillan et al demonstrated an independent association of age, male sex, and body mass index (BMI) with elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressures (PASPs).1 The authors suggested that the correlation between increased BMI and increased PSAP may be attributable to an increased cardiac output in obese ...
