Overview
According to the [guideline name], screening for [disease name] by [test 1] is recommended every [duration] among patients with [condition 1], [condition 2], and [condition 3].
Screening
- 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[1].
- Peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity
- Ventricular basal diameter ratio
- Systolic and/or diastolic ventricular eccentricity index.
- RV outflow Doppler acceleration time
- Pulmonary artery diameter
- Inferior vena cava inspiratory collapse
