Diagnostic Value of Right Pulmonary Artery Distensibility Index in Dogs with Pulmonary Hypertension: Comparison with Doppler Echocardiographic Estimates of Pulmonary Arterial Pressure

Abstract: BackgroundNoninvasive diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) primarily relies upon Doppler echocardiography of tricuspid regurgitation (TR). However, TR might be absent or difficult to measure.Hypothesis/ObjectivesTo determine the diagnostic value of right pulmonary artery distensibility (RPAD) index for prediction of Doppler‐derived estimates of pulmonary artery (PA) pressure compared to other indices of PH in dogs.AnimalsSixty‐nine client‐owned dogs with TR.MethodsProspective observational study. Dogs were… Show more

“…In line with a previous study, 22 our results indicate that dogs with moderate PAH may have R-CHF. A possible explanation might be that these cases were incorrectly classified because of limitations of the TRPG in estimating the actual severity of PAH.…”

“…Pulmonary arterial hypertension was identified if a tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient (TRPG) ≥36 mmHg based on echo-Doppler assessment was observed. [20][21][22] The TRPG was derived from the peak systolic tricuspid regurgitation jet velocity using the simplified Bernoulli equation (pressure gradient = 4 multiply by velocity 2 ). Peak systolic tricuspid regurgitation jet velocity obtained by 2-dimensional (2D)/color Doppler-guided continuous wave Doppler was measured with the echocardiographic view that provided the clearest jet profile and best alignment with the jet.…”

“…Further, we recommend not deriving the cross-sectional area of an artery from a diameter measurement, as small errors in diameter (radius) measurement will be greatly magnified based on the formula: p 9 radius 2 . Lastly, we and others 1,6 found relative diameter change in the right PA (RPAD index) to be a practical, repeatable, and accurate predictor of invasive PA pressure and echocardiographically derived tricuspid regurgitation systolic pressure gradient in dogs with naturally occurring PH.…”

“…Kellihan and Chesler for their kind words and comments regarding our article "Diagnostic value of the right pulmonary artery distensibility index in dogs with pulmonary hypertension: Comparison with Doppler echocardiographic estimates of pulmonary arterial pressure" recently published in JVIM. 1 In their letter, Drs. Kellihan and Chesler expressed concern regarding our use of the term "right pulmonary artery distensibility (RPAD) index" primarily because this index, as performed in our echocardiographic study, does not truly represent distensibility of the right pulmonary artery.…”
