TLDR
Whether the ratio of peak tricuspid regurgitant velocity to the right ventricular outflow tract time-velocity integral obtained by Doppler echocardiography (TRV/TVI(RVOT)) provides a clinically reliable method to determine pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is tested.

- 01 Oct 1984 - 
TL;DR: The tricuspid gradient method provides an accurate and widely applicable method for noninvasive estimation of elevated right ventricular systolic pressures in patients with tric Suspid regurgitation detected by Doppler ultrasound.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative assessment of pulmonary hypertension in patients with tricuspid regurgitation using continuous wave doppler ultrasound

TL;DR: Findings indicate that tricuspid regurgitation can be identified by Doppler ultrasound in a large proportion of patients with pulmonary hypertension, especially when the pulmonary artery pressure exceeds 50 mm Hg.

Comparison of three Doppler ultrasound methods in the prediction of pulmonary artery pressure

TL;DR: Pulmonary artery pressure was noninvasively estimated by three Doppler echocardiographic methods in 50 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac catheterization, finding noninvasive prediction of pulmonary artery pressure is feasible in most patients.

Determination of cardiac output by Doppler echocardiography.

TL;DR: Cardiac output determined by Doppler echocardiography was compared with that determined by thermodilution at rest and during dobutamine infusion and by the Fick method at rest in patients with angina pectoris without valvular heart disease.
