Why the study?
Pulmonary hypertension can lead to right ventricular systolic dysfunction with prognostic implications, prompting evaluation of the agreement between echocardiographic and invasive measurements of right atrial mean pressure and right ventricular function.
Do transthoracic echocardiography measurements correlate with right heart catheterization hemodynamics in evaluating the right atrium and right ventricle in patients with pulmonary hypertension?
Do transthoracic echocardiography measurements correlate with right heart catheterization hemodynamics in evaluating the right atrium and right ventricle in patients with pulmonary hypertension?
Transthoracic echocardiography measurements, particularly right atrial area, show significant correlation and moderate agreement with invasive right heart catheterization for assessing right atrial pressure and right ventricular systolic dysfunction in pulmonary hypertension.
