Why the study?
Does a combination of CT and echocardiographic measurements better predict pulmonary hypertension compared to either test alone in patients undergoing right-sided heart catheterization?
Does a combination of CT and echocardiographic measurements better predict pulmonary hypertension compared to either test alone in patients undergoing right-sided heart catheterization?
Combining CT and echocardiographic markers improves the non-invasive prediction of pulmonary hypertension compared to either modality alone.
