摘要
Previous attempts at noninvasive estimation of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PA(S)) were limited by the inability to identify adequate spectral signals of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in a significant proportion of patients. Recently, image and color flow directed continuous-wave Doppler have enabled spectral mapping of previously undetectable TR jets. Accordingly, 30 consecutive patients underwent two-dimensional and continuous-wave Doppler echocardiograms immediately before right heart catheterization. PA(S) was calculated as SIGMA (4V2 + RA) where V is the maximal velocity of the TR jet in m/sec and RA is right atrial pressure as estimated by the caval respiratory index. Twenty-eight patients (93%) had detectable signals of TR. Directly measured PA(S) ranged from 21 to 95 mmHg (mean +/- SD, 40 +/- 18). Correlation between Doppler and catheter-measured PA(S) was R - sq = 0.93 with a standard error of the estimate of 4.7 mmHg. Accurate results were obtained over a wide range of pulmonary pressures. Thus, noninvasive determination of PA(S) is feasible in most patients including those with normal PA(S), and correlates extremely well with direct measurements.
