Improving echocardiographic estimation of pulmonary vascular resistance

Improving echocardiographic estimation of pulmonary vascular resistance

To improve RAP estimation, the guidelines suggested a new scheme that includes secondary indexes such as tricuspid E/E[variant prime] ratio or hepatic vein flow. 4 The implementation of a better method to estimate RAP (and so RVSP) may lead to a better performance of the PVRc.
