Noninvasive estimation of right ventricular systolic pressure by Doppler ultrasound in patients with tricuspid regurgitation

Paul G. Yock, +1 more
- 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.

Prevalence and clinical determinants of mitral, tricuspid, and aortic regurgitation (the Framingham Heart Study)

TL;DR: A substantial proportion of healthy men and women had detectable valvular regurgitation by color Doppler echocardiography, and population-based estimates for comparison with patients taking anorectic drugs are provided.

Continuous wave doppler determination of right ventricular pressure: A simultaneous Doppler-catheterization study in 127 patients

TL;DR: Simultaneous continuous wave Doppler echocardiography and right-sided cardiac pressure measurements were performed during cardiac catheterization in 127 patients and approximately 80% of patients with increased and 57% with normal right ventricular pressure had analyzable Dopplers tricuspid regurgitant velocities that could be used to accurately predictright ventricular systolic pressure.

Right ventricular infarction. Clinical and hemodynamic features.

TL;DR: Six patients with acute myocardial infarction presented with hemodynamic evidence of predominant right ventricular failure, characterized by a mean right atrial pressure averaging 20.2 mm Hg and left ventricular filling pressure averaging 16.3mm Hg are suggested to have a unique clinical and hemodynamic syndrome.
