Sensitivity and Specificity of Pulmonary Artery Pressure Measurement in Echocardiography and Correlation with Right Heart Catheterization.

Objective: Echocardiography is helpful in assessment of pulmonary hemodynamic, however its correlation with Right heart catheterization (RHC) is conflicting. We conducted a study to evaluate sensitivity and specificity of pulmonary hemodynamic parameters measured in echocardiography. Furthermore its correlation with the values measured in RHC was assessed.
