Overview
There are currently no guidelines on using echocardiography to screen patients with CHD for the presence of pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, some parameters are recommended as pedictive for the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension, including peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity, ventricular basal diameter ratio, systolic and/or diastolic ventricular eccentricity index, RV outflow Doppler acceleration time, pulmonary artery diameter, and inferior vena cava inspiratory collapse.
