Can subxiphoid echocardiography accurately measure right ventricular wall thickness and correlate with right ventricular peak systolic pressure in adults?
Subxiphoid echocardiography is a feasible and accurate non-invasive method for measuring right ventricular wall thickness and diagnosing right ventricular hypertrophy in adults.
