Pulmonary Artery Acceleration Time Provides a Reliable Estimate of Invasive Pulmonary Hemodynamics in Children

Abstract: Background Pulmonary artery acceleration time (PAAT) is a non-invasive method to assess pulmonary hemodynamics, but lacks validity in children. This study sought to evaluate the accuracy of Doppler echocardiography (DE) derived PAAT in predicting right heart catheterization (RHC) derived pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and compliance in children. Methods Prospectively acquired and retrospectively measured DE derived PAAT and RHC derived systolic PAP (sPAP), mean PAP (mP… Show more

“…In the ROC curve analysis, the cutoff values of PAT and HRcPAT to detect PAH (MPAP < 25 mm Hg) were 74 and 99 ms with a sensitivity and specificity of 93/100% and 100/100% respectively. The cutoff of PAT value to detect PAH in this study is comparatively lesser, whereas the HRcPAT cutoff was very similar to that described in other studies like 100 ms by Dabestani et al, 34 100 ms by Granstem et al, 37 90 ms by Levy et al 25 in Western population. Even though the PAT cutoff is lesser than the previously described values in Western population, it predicts PAH in the Indian population with better sensitivity and specificity, suggesting the use of this lesser cutoff of PAT value or use of HRcPAT to define PAH in Indian population.…”

“…Further in the subgroup analysis, MPAP in patients with severe PAH (MPAP ≥ 50 mm Hg) showed a better correlation (r 2 = 0.433) with PAT than in patients with less than severe PAH (r 2 = 0.260). As shown by Levy et al 25 and Kitabatake et al, 38 PAT is better in estimating MPAP in patients with severe PAH than in patients with less than severe PAH. Similarly, PAT also showed a good correlation (r 2 = 0.6193) with PVRI measured invasively and the regression equation derived (PVRI = 14.9 − 0.09 PAT) in the derivation cohort showed good correlation with the PVRI derived invasively and from the formula given by Levy et al 25 (PVRI = 9 − 0.07 PAT) with minimal bias (<10%),…”

“…In children, PVR and mPAP were shown to have high associations with PAAT. 32 If these parameters may explain a substantial amount of the remaining variance cannot be answered within this study.…”
