State-of-the-Art Review: Echocardiography in Pulmonary Hypertension.

Author: CelermajerDavid S, CordinaRachael L, LangIrene, PlayfordDavid

Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.
Systematic ReviewA review that systematically collects, evaluates, and integrates relevant research to answer a specific research question.

Overview

This review discusses the role of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in diagnosing and managing pulmonary hypertension, a progressive and often fatal disease. It highlights the utility of TTE in screening, estimating pulmonary artery pressure and resistance, assessing right ventricular function, and guiding treatment decisions. The review also explores newer echocardiographic techniques for three-dimensional assessment of the right ventricle.

Original Abstract of the Article :
Pulmonary hypertension is a progressive and often fatal disease that frequently presents with dyspnoea on exertion and results in increased right ventricular afterload and right ventricular failure. Although cardiac catheterisation is required for a formal diagnosis, transthoracic echocardiography (...See full text at original site
