| Core Tip |
We investigated the value of speckle-tracking (ST) analysis of the right ventricle (RV) in patients with suspected pulmonary hypertension. It focuses on a non-invasive model including parameters derived from standard transthorathic echocardiography (TTE) and ST, as well as electrocardiogram (ECG), six minutes walking distance and NT-pro BNP in order to distinguish the precapillary and postcapillary forms of PH. ST-derived apical RV longitudinal strain (RVAS < -6.5%), TTE-derived systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP > 33 mmHg) and ECG RV stress signs were associated with precapillary PH, their combination had a sensitivity of 82.8% and a specificity of 17.2% for the detection of precapillary PH. |
