Why the study?

Does Doppler tissue imaging of the tricuspid annulus identify right-ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction in patients with chronic pulmonary hypertension compared to normal controls?

Population

87 patients with chronic pulmonary hypertension (CPHT) and 90 normal controls

Comparison

Doppler tissue imaging interrogation of the… vs Normal controls

Design

Case-control

Implication

Tricuspid annular DTI may aid noninvasive RV assessment in CPHT; leaves open need for prospective validation before clinical adoption.

Does Doppler tissue imaging of the tricuspid annulus identify right-ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction in patients with chronic pulmonary hypertension compared to normal controls?

Population

87 patients with chronic pulmonary hypertension (CPHT) and 90 normal controls

Intervention

Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) interrogation of the tricuspid annulus (TA)

Comparator

Normal controls

Outcome

DTI parameters including early diastolic, late diastolic and systolic velocities and time velocity integrals (TVI) of the tricuspid annulus motion at both its lateral and medial aspectsurrogate

Doppler tissue imaging of the tricuspid annulus provides a feasible method to assess right-ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction in patients with chronic pulmonary hypertension.
