Why the study?
Does Doppler echocardiography accurately estimate right ventricular systolic pressure compared to right-heart catheterization in patients with postinfarction ventricular septal rupture?
Does Doppler echocardiography accurately estimate right ventricular systolic pressure compared to right-heart catheterization in patients with postinfarction ventricular septal rupture?
Doppler echocardiography provides a rapid, noninvasive, and accurate estimation of right ventricular systolic pressure in patients with postinfarction ventricular septal rupture.
