Noninvasive estimation of right ventricular systolic pressure by Doppler ultrasound in patients with tricuspid regurgitation 总被引:34,自引:0,他引:34
We evaluated the accuracy of a noninvasive method for estimating right ventricular systolic pressures in patients with tricuspid regurgitation detected by Doppler ultrasound. Of 62 patients with clinical signs of elevated right-sided pressures, 54 (87%) had jets of tricuspid regurgitation clearly recorded by continuous-wave Doppler ultrasound. By use of the maximum velocity (V) of the regurgitant jet, the systolic pressure gradient (delta P) between right ventricle and right atrium was calculated by the modified Bernoulli equation (delta P = 4V2). Adding the transtricuspid gradient to the mean right atrial pressure (estimated clinically from the jugular veins) gave predictions of right ventricular systolic pressure that correlated well with catheterization values (r = .93, SEE = 8 mm Hg). The tricuspid gradient method provides an accurate and widely applicable method for noninvasive estimation of elevated right ventricular systolic pressures. 相似文献

In patients with acquired or congenital heart diseases, the systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAPs) can be predicted using continuous-wave Doppler ultrasound (CWD) measurement of the peak velocity of a tricuspid regurgitation (TR) jet. The aim of this study was to determine whether CWD could be used to accurately estimate PAP in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In 41 patients with stable COPD, we prospectively performed CWD and right heart catheterization. The mean value of PAPs for the entire group was 38.5 +/- 14.9 mm Hg. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAPs greater than or equal to 35 mm Hg) occurred in 51 percent (21/41) of patients. Doppler estimation of PAP was impossible in 34 percent (14/41) because of poor signal quality (n = 3), absence of Doppler-detected TR (n = 8), and inadequate TR Doppler signal (n = 3). The PAP could be estimated in 66 percent (27/41) of patients. A statistically significant correlation was found between the Doppler-estimated PAP and the catheter-measured PAPs (r = 0.65; p less than 0.001; SEE = 9 mm Hg). Therefore, CWD appears to be useful for the noninvasive estimation of PAP in patients with COPD. However, this method is associated with two limitations: (1) the high percentage of patients in whom the PAP cannot be estimated by CWD, mainly because of the absence of Doppler-detected TR, and (2) the high value of the standard error of the estimate. The combination of CWD with other Doppler methods should increase the feasibility and accuracy of Doppler echography for the prediction of PAP in patients with COPD. 相似文献

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To quantify the systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) by continuous wave Doppler echocardiography and record the prevalence of tricuspid regurgitation (TR). DESIGN: Prospective analysis of 42 patients (pts), submitted to right heart catheterization (RHC). SETTING: Pts referred to the Echocardiographic Laboratory at Sta. Marta Hospital - H.C.L. PATIENTS: Sequential sample of 42 pts with several cardiac pathologies, subjected to RHC and 2D Doppler Echocardiography. INTERVENTIONS: The right ventricular and SPAP were recorded in the hemodynamic exam. We considered pulmonary hypertension (PH) if SPAP was greater than 35 mmHg or mean pressure greater than 20 mmHg. The pts were divided into two groups: I-pts without PH and II-pts with PH. The 2D Doppler echocardiography was made within 24 H of the hemodynamic one. Peak gradient (pg) of TR and the correlation with catheterization data were analysed. RESULTS: Hemodynamic--The mean SPAP in the sample was 46 +/- 21.5 mmHg (27 +/- 4.6 in group I and 55 +/- 20.2 mmHg in II). In 35 pts with TR the mean SPAP was 50.3 +/- 21.2 mmHg. Doppler--The pressure gradient was 40 +/- 18.7 mmHg. 57% pts of the group I and 96% II had TR p less than 0.001. The correlation between Doppler gradient and SPAP was r = 0.95, and no change was noted when 7 is used as a constant. CONCLUSION: Continuous wave Doppler echocardiography is a non invasive technic useful to the quantitative analysis of SPAP. 相似文献

Background Noninvasive estimation of pulmonary artery systolic and diastolic pressures usually requires the investigation of both tricuspid and pulmonary regurgitant jets and an estimate of right atrial pressure. A new, noninvasive method to obtain pulmonary diastolic pressure (based on the hemodynamic demonstration that right ventricular systolic pressure and pulmonary artery diastolic pressure are equal at the time of pulmonary valve opening) from the analysis of tricuspid regurgitation alone has been described in a small cohort of patients. We sought to verify the accuracy of this method in a large population of patients with heart failure. Methods An estimate of pulmonary artery diastolic pressure was obtained by transposing the pulmonary opening time (from the onset of the R wave on the electrocardiographic tracing to the beginning of pulmonic forward flow on Doppler examination) onto the tricuspid regurgitant velocity curve and calculating the pulmonary artery diastolic pressure value as the pressure gradient between the right ventricle and right atrium at this time. The study group included 86 consecutive patients (64 men, aged 52 ± 11 years) with heart failure (New York Heart Association class ≥II, 94%) who were in stable clinical condition with a chiefly idiopathic (57%), ischemic (24%), or other form (13%) of dilated cardiomyopathy. Noninvasive, right-sided pressures were compared with invasive measurements obtained during right heart catheterization performed within 24 hours. The Bland and Altman graphic method was used together with the calculation of the Lin concordance correlation coefficient and its 95% CI to assess the agreement between hemodynamic and echocardiographic measurements. Results Catheter-derived pulmonary artery systolic pressure ranged from 8 to 119 mm Hg (mean 42 ± 21 mm Hg), pulmonary artery diastolic pressure from 1 to 59 mm Hg (mean 20 ± 11 mm Hg), and right atrial pressure from −5 to 20 mm Hg (mean 6 ± 5 mm Hg). Tricuspid regurgitation was detected in 75 of 86 patients (87%). Pulmonary artery systolic pressure ranged from 13 to 110 mm Hg (mean 44 ± 21 mm Hg); the pressure gradient between the right ventricle and right atrium at time t of the pulmonary valve opening on the tricuspid regurgitation velocity curve was measurable in 70 of 75 (93%) cases and ranged from 3.5 to 64 mm Hg (mean 22 ± 11 mm Hg). Good agreement was observed not only for pulmonary artery systolic pressure but also for pulmonary artery diastolic pressure, based on the analysis of the tricuspid regurgitation velocity jet, with a slight difference between measurements (−1.8 and 0.1, respectively), no evident pattern of point scattering, and a high concordance correlation coefficient that was elicited by the virtually total overlapping of lines on the graph. Overall results were not significantly different whether patients with depressed right ventricular function (right ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%), with a tricuspid regurgitation grade ≥2 and atrial fibrillation were included in the analysis. Conclusions The narrow paired difference for the estimate of pulmonary artery systolic pressure and the even better difference for pulmonary artery diastolic pressure using the tricuspid regurgitation velocity curve analysis indicates that this new method reliably estimates invasive right-sided pressures over a wide range of pressure values in patients with heart failure. The overall good correlation with invasive values indicates that Doppler examination of tricuspid regurgitation alone may provide a simple and comprehensive new method for the noninvasive evaluation of right ventricular and pulmonary hemodynamics in patients with heart failure.

In an attempt to predict peak pulmonary artery pressure from routine M-mode echocardiographic tracings, 95 infants and children with congenital heart disease were examined. Following the Burstin method for prediction of peak pulmonary artery pressure, which was originally based on the phonocardiogram and jugular phlebogram, M-mode echocardiography was used to measure the interval from pulmonary valve closure to tricuspid valve opening, namely, the period of isovolumic diastole. The measured interval was plotted on a modified table relating the interval, heart rate and predicted peak pulmonary artery pressure. The peak pulmonary artery pressure predicted by echocardiography was compared with that measured at cardiac catheterization. The correlation between predicted and actual peak pulmonary artery pressure was good (r = 0.86) for routine studies with the patient in the nonsedated state. All patients with a predicted peak pressure less than 40 mm Hg were found at catheterization to have a pressure less than 40 mm Hg. The correlation was better (r = 0.96) when comparing predictions made from the echocardiogram obtained while the patient was sedated for catheterization. Prediction of the magnitude of elevation of peak pressure was especially good when prediction and measurement were nearly simultaneous. Predictions were less accurate in the presence of tachycardia at rates of more than 155 beats/min. The method for estimating peak pulmonary artery pressure from M-mode echocardiographic tracings is reliable, relatively simple and clinically useful. 相似文献

Noninvasive estimation of systolic pressure in the right ventricle in patients with tricuspid regurgitation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In 70 patients, tricuspid regurgitation was diagnosed with Dopplerby recording reverse flow in systole originating at the tricuspidorifice, directed into the right atrium. The peak velocitieswere recorded, and the peak pressure drop from the right ventricleto the right atrium in systole was calculated from the simplifiedBernoulli equation (pressure drop = 4x4x Vmax2), and was foundto correlate well with invasive measurements (r = 0.97, SEE±61mmHg). Central venous pressure was judged by neck vein congestionand added to the pressure drop to obtain a noninvasive estimationof systolic right ventricular pressure. Correlation with catheterizationmeasurements was good (r = 0.96, SEE±7.1 mmHg). In patientsin whom the tricuspid regurgitation was judged as mild withDoppler, the correlation between noninvasive and invasive measurementsof the transtricuspidpressure drop was still good (r = 0.95,SEE±5.1 mmHg), indicating that the viscosity of the blooddoes not invalidate the use of the simplified Bernoulli equationwhen the regurgitant area of the valve is small. 相似文献

The peak early diastolic filling velocity/flow propagation velocity (E/FPV) by color M-mode Doppler provides a better estimate of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) than transmitral or pulmonary venous flow. However, the value of E/FPV for the assessment of PCWP has not been evaluated in patients with acute myocardial infarction. We investigated the correlation between E/FPV and PCWP and whether PCWP can be estimated from E/FPV in patients with acute myocardial infarction. One hundred and two patients with acute myocardial infarction were divided into two groups. The first 60 patients were used to generate an equation to estimate PCWP (retrospective group). This equation was then assessed prospectively in the remaining 42 patients (prospective group). We measured the transmitral flow velocity indices and the deceleration time of diastolic pulmonary venous flow and E/FPV by Doppler echocardiography and compared these variables with PCWP measured using a pulmonary artery catheter. E/FPV was strongly correlated with PCWP (r = 0.89) in the retrospective group. The sensitivity of an E/FPV of > or = 2.0 for predicting a PCWP of > or = 18 mmHg was 95%, and the specificity was 98%. The estimated PCWP showed a strong correlation with the measured PCWP (r = 0.84, P < 0.0001) in the prospective group. The mean difference between the measured and estimated PCWP was - 0.4 +/- 3.6 mmHg. In patients with acute myocardial infarction, E/FPV by color M-mode Doppler during early left ventricular filling provides a better estimate of PCWP than transmitral or pulmonary venous flow. 相似文献

Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) was assessed with simultaneous continuous wave Doppler echocardiography (CW) and cardiac catheterization (CATH) in 33 cases. There was a close correlation between CW-estimated peak pressure gradient of tricuspid regurgitation (TRPGp) and CATH-measured PASP (r = 0.96, P less than 0.0001). Excellent correlation (r = 0.96, P less than 0.0001) between CW-estimated PASP and CATH-measured PASP was also obtained. The derived regression equation was PASP = TRPGp + 1.33 kPa. When the patients had relative or pathologic pulmonic stenosis, the regression equation was corrected by pulmonary artery pressure gradient (PAPG). The regression equation became PASP = TRPGp + 1.33-PAPG. 相似文献

To determine the feasibility of noninvasive determination of right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) during a graded-exercise protocol, saline contrast-enhanced Doppler echocardiography of tricuspid insufficiency was performed in 36 patients with chronic lung disease and 12 normal controls. In the patients with chronic pulmonary disease, symptom-limited, incremental supine bicycle exercise and pulse oximetry were performed on and off high-flow oxygen. Technically adequate Doppler studies were initially obtained in 20 patients (56%) at rest and 14 (39%) on exercise; these numbers increased to 33 (92%) and 32 (89%), respectively, after enhancement with agitated saline (both p less than 0.001). In 10 patients with chronic lung disease who had simultaneous hemodynamic monitoring during exercise, the correlation between Doppler and catheter measurements of pulmonary artery systolic pressure was close (r = 0.98). Among controls, RVSP increased from 22 +/- 4 at rest (mean +/- SD) to 31 +/- 7 mm Hg at peak exercise. In patients with chronic lung disease, RVSP increased from 46 +/- 20 to 83 +/- 30 mm Hg (both p less than 0.001 vs. controls). Despite normal resting values for RVSP in 28% of study patients, nearly all showed abnormal increases in RVSP during supine bicycle exercise. Increases in RVSP during exercise were greatest in patients who showed oxyhemoglobin desaturation. The short-term administration of oxygen significantly blunted the increase in RVSP during exercise. Saline contrast-enhanced Doppler evaluation of tricuspid insufficiency seems a potentially valuable noninvasive method of determining the exercise response of RVSP in patients with chronic pulmonary disease. 相似文献

To develop a new method for noninvasive measuring of the pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) in patient ductus arteriosus (PDA), left and right heart catheterization (Cath) and continuous-wave Doppler echocardiography (CWD) were performed simultaneously in 30 cases with PDA. The results showed that there was high correlation of the systolic peak pressure gradient (delta pp), the end-diastolic pressure gradient (delta Pd) and the mean pressure gradient (delta Pm), across PDA measured with the two techniques (r = 0.99, 0.96 and 0.98, respectively). The CWD-derived pulmonary artery systolic (PASP), diastolic (PADP) and mean (PAMP) pressure, which were estimated by subtracting delta Pp, delta Pd and delta Pm from the brachial artery systolic, diastolic and mean pressure, correlated well with the corresponding PAP measured with Cath (r = 0.92, 0.89 and 0.94, respectively). It is concluded that CWD offers a reliable technique for estimating shunt pressure gradients and PAP in patients with PDA. 相似文献

Noninvasive evaluation of aortic regurgitation by continuous-wave Doppler echocardiography 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Continuous-wave Doppler echocardiography was used to examine the aortic regurgitant flow velocity pattern in 32 patients with aortic regurgitation (AR) and 10 patients without AR. The aortic regurgitant flow velocity patterns, characterized by a rapid rise in flow velocity immediately after closure of the aortic valve, high peak flow velocity, and a gradual deceleration until the next aortic valve opening, were successfully obtained in 30 of the 32 patients with AR (sensitivity 94%, specificity 100%). The velocity decline was greater in patients with severe AR; thus, the slope of the velocity decline (deceleration) and the time to decline to half the peak velocity (half-time index) were measured from the flow velocity pattern. The deceleration became greater and the half-time index shortened in accordance with angiographic grading of AR (p less than .01). The deceleration and the half-time index also correlated well with the aortic regurgitant fraction (r = .79, p less than .01; r = -.89, p less than .01). Because the half-time index could be measured easily and independently of Doppler incident angle, it seemed a simple and accurate index of assessing the severity of AR. Thus continuous-wave Doppler echocardiography permitted the noninvasive evaluation of AR. 相似文献

Doppler echocardiography and right heart catheterization were performed in 18 patients with COPD. The pulmonary blood flow pattern were analysed by the pulsed doppler flowmeter. The pulmonary artery acceleration time (PAT) showed significant inverse correlation with pulmonary artery mean pressure (mPAP) (r = -0.84, P less than 0.001) and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (sPAP) (r = -0.89, P less than 0.001). In fifteen of 18 patients, continuous wave doppler could be used to measure the maximal velocity of the regurgitant jet through the tricuspid valve (Vmax), and the right ventricle to the right atrium pressure gradient (PG) was calculated by means of simplified bernoulli equation (PG = 4V2max). PG correlated well with sPAP (r = 0.89, P less than 0.001) and mPAP (r = 0.92, P less than 0.001). We considered that doppler echocardiography was useful for noninvasive estimation of pulmonary artery pressure in patients with COPD. 相似文献

Noninvasive estimation of pulmonary arterial pressure is important for hemodynamic monitoring of patients with heart disease. In patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the peak velocity of TR on continuous-wave (CW) Doppler can be used to estimate the systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (PAPs) using the simplified Bernoulli equation. We evaluated a new technique of contrast-enhanced CW Doppler for calculating PAPs in patients with trivial TR. Forty-one patients without visible TR detected by color Doppler, pulsed Doppler or CW Doppler were evaluated. Age ranged from 19 to 73 (55 +/- 12) years old. Tricuspid flow signals were recorded on CW Doppler after intravenous administration of indocyanin green (ICG) or Albunex. PAPs was calculated as; PAPs = 4 x VTR2 + 10 mmHg, where VTR is the peak velocity of TR. PAPs calculated using contrast-enhanced CW Doppler was compared with PAPs measured by the following cardiac catheterization. 1) TR signals were recorded using the contrast-enhanced CW Doppler technique in 39 of 41 patients (95%) after intravenous administration of contrast agents. 2) The error of estimate of PAPs using the contrast-enhanced CW Doppler technique was -2.4 +/- 7.5 mmHg, and the percent error was -10.7 +/- 32.4% in all patients. In 20 of 39 patients (51%), the error of estimate was within +/- 5 mmHg. 3) PAPs was overestimated by 12.2 +/- 6.1 mmHg in patients with good contrast enhancement of TR signals. The contrast-enhanced CW Doppler technique is useful for estimating PAPs noninvasively in patients with trivial TR. It is better to assume the right atrial pressure as 3-5 mmHg, not 10 mmHg, in patients with good enhancement of trivial TR. Physiological TR may be enhanced by contrast agents in these patients. 相似文献

To evaluate the usefulness of pulsed Doppler echocardiography in assessing late diastolic mitral regurgitation (MR) and to clarify the pathophysiology of MR, 226 consecutive patients who had undergone left ventriculography were studied. By investigating blood flow patterns at the left atrial outflow tract, late diastolic disturbed flow suggesting MR was detected in 15 patients (7%), including 10 (4%) with positive left ventriculographic findings. Among these 15 patients, 14 (93%) had atrial fibrillation and had late diastolic MR in the cardiac cycle with prolonged RR interval. The limitation in number of cardiac cycles that could be analyzed and the rapid heart rate eliminating appearance of the beat with prolonged RR interval may be the reasons for the paucity of late diastolic MR by left ventriculography. Ten patients (66%) with late diastolic MR, including 1 with sinus rhythm, had aortic regurgitation, 3 had high-grade systolic MR and 2 had atrial septal defect. Simultaneous recording of pulmonary artery wedge pressure and left ventricular pressure in 3 patients showed a reversal of pressure gradient in late diastole when the RR interval was prolonged. In conclusion, pulsed Doppler echocardiography was useful for detecting late diastolic MR and in reducing overestimation of systolic MR in left ventriculography induced by erroneous addition of late diastolic MR. The difference of the incidence of this flow between left ventriculography and Doppler examination indicated that this flow depends primarily on heart rate and may come and go in a patient. 相似文献

Tricuspid valve regurgitation was assessed quantitatively by measuring blood flow velocity in the vena cava using a pulsed Doppler velocimeter. A non-invasive index of regurgitation was obtained by calculating the ratio between the maximum amplitudes of the systolic and diastolic components of the velocity curves. The index was compared with the angiographic grading of regurgitation in 70 patients after right heart catheterisation; the results were closely correlated. Using the Doppler index the differences between the groups defined according to their angiographic grade were significant. Thus measurement of blood flow velocity in the vena cava appears to quantify accurately the severity of tricuspid regurgitation. 相似文献
