Zusammenfassung:[...]pulmonary flow acceleration time will shorten and a value < 100 ms has a sensitivity of 78% with a specificity of 100% for diagnosing elevated pulmonary artery pressure (fig 3A). LIMITATIONS The current review discusses the use of echocardiography in the evaluation of patients with acquired RV right heart pathologies from the right ventricular functional perspective as this may be important in guiding the correct diagnosis. [...]it was not meant to be an exhaustive review of right heart pathologies.
