Why the study?
Can Doppler echocardiography parameters during passive leg lifting accurately estimate raised pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in patients with suspected heart failure?
Can Doppler echocardiography parameters during passive leg lifting accurately estimate raised pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in patients with suspected heart failure?
Left atrial strain rate during atrial contraction (LASRa) and E/LVSRe during passive leg lifting can non-invasively estimate elevated left ventricular filling pressures in suspected heart failure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
E/LVSRe and LASRa during leg lifting were associated with PCWP; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before estimating filling pressures.
Henein et al. (2018) studied this question.
