Prognostic relevance of elevated pulmonary arterial pressure assessed non-invasively: Analysis in a large patient cohort with invasive measurements in near temporal proximity.

Prognostic relevance of elevated pulmonary arterial pressure assessed non-invasively: Analysis in a large patient cohort with invasive measurements in near temporal proximity.

The clinical relevance of non-invasively derived pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) by Doppler echocardiography (DE) has been questioned in the past.
