Accuracy and precision of echocardiography versus right heart catheterization for the assessment of pulmonary hypertension.
BACKGROUND Echocardiographic studies have contributed to progress in the understanding of the pathophysiology of the pulmonary circulation and have been shown to be useful for screening for and prognostication of pulmonary hypertension, but are considered unreliable for the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension. We explored this apparent paradox with rigorous Bland and Altman analysis of the accu...
متن کاملExperience with exercise right heart catheterization in the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension: a retrospective study
BACKGROUND Data on exercise pulmonary hemodynamics in healthy people and patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) are rare. We analyzed exercise right heart catheterization (RHC) data in a symptomatic collective referred with suspected PH to characterize the differential response by diagnostic groups, to correlate resting with exercise hemodynamics, and to evaluate safety. METHODS This is a ...
متن کاملComparison of Doppler echocardiography and right heart catheterization to assess pulmonary hypertension in systemic sclerosis.
Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is an important complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Echocardiography can be used to detect PHT and, with Doppler echocardiography, the pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) can often be estimated. We have undertaken a study to compare echocardiographic assessment with right heart catheterization (RHC) in 33 SSc patients in whom clinical assessment [inclu...
متن کاملRight heart catheterization procedures in patients with suspicion of pulmonary hypertension – experiences of a tertiary center
Introduction Right heart catheterization (RHC) is an invasive procedure providing direct and accurate measurements of hemodynamics of the cardiovascular system. Acute pulmonary vasoreactivity testing (APVT) following basal RHC in some patients is an established tool evaluating the reversibility of hypertension in the pulmonary vasculature. Aim We sought to assess the most common indications, ...
متن کاملNew Echocardiographic Tehniques in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension vs. Right Heart Catheterization - A Pilot Study.
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) represents an emerging pathology in modern medicine. Transthoracic echocardiography is an inexpensive and reproducible method and it is the most commonly used non-invasive diagnostic tool to asses pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and the function of the right ventricle. Although, the right heart catheterization is still considered as t...
