“…Although RHC is the only test available to diagnose PH, echocardiography is the preferred screening test for at‐risk patients 6. Current guidelines recommend further evaluation of patients for PH if the tricuspid regurgitation velocity is >2.9 m/s (corresponding to PASP >≈40 mm Hg) 6.…”

“…Although RHC is the only test available to diagnose PH, echocardiography is the preferred screening test for at‐risk patients 6. Current guidelines recommend further evaluation of patients for PH if the tricuspid regurgitation velocity is >2.9 m/s (corresponding to PASP >≈40 mm Hg) 6. However, our findings demonstrate that PA pressure assessed by echocardiography, at levels considered currently to be below the range of clinical significance (tricuspid regurgitation velocity ≈>2.5 m/s, PASP >35 mm Hg) across both community‐based and referral populations, is, in fact, a valid predictor of mortality.…”

“…The LV has reduced systolic and diastolic volumes but usually preserved global systolic function. 16 Although not the focus of this review, evaluation of the left heart, including LV systolic function (LV ejection fraction [EF], fractional shortening), longitudinal systolic LV function (mitral annular plane systolic excursion), and inflow and outflow Doppler of all valves, should be an integral part of the echocardiographic assessment of PH, to assess detrimental RV-LV interactions. 17 After the initial diagnostic evaluation for PAH, TTEs are usually performed at 6-12-month intervals and when there is a clinical change.…”
