Objective The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the association between enlarged right atrial area (RAA), as measured by echocardiography, and prognosis of patients with pulmonary arterial ...

Dr Joseph A Hill discusses the diagnosis and management of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

The most accurate way to diagnose pulmonary hypertension is using a pressure measurement called right-heart catheterisation. However, this is invasive and can cause complications.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources and ...

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the correlation and concordance of pulmonary artery systolic pressure values measured via right heart catheterization and estimated via transthoracic echocardiography ...

Panelists discuss how pulmonary arterial hypertension diagnosis requires comprehensive evaluation including right heart catheterization to confirm hemodynamic criteria, with normal mean PA ...

About Group 2 Pulmonary Hypertension in HFpEF The World Health Organization has defined 5 groups of pulmonary hypertension (“PH”). Tectonic is focused on the Group 2 subtype, a condition that develops ...

A new molecular imaging technique -- 18F-FAPI PET -- can detect the first signs of tissue remodeling in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), providing physicians with an early ...

This study retrospectively analyzed clinical data to develop a risk prediction model for pulmonary hypertension in high-altitude populations. The evidence is solid, and the findings are useful and ...

BOSTON — A multimodal fusion model outperformed transthoracic echocardiography in identifying pulmonary hypertension, according to a study presented at the CHEST Annual Meeting.This model ...

An algorithm based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning may help in diagnosing pulmonary hypertension (PH), a new study shows. Its findings are particularly important for people ...

Echocardiography, a noninvasive imaging method to examine heart structure and function, can be useful in making a preliminary diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension and in determining its likely course, ...
