Multiparametric vs. Inferior Vena Cava–Based Estimation of Right Atrial Pressure

Multiparametric vs. Inferior Vena Cava–Based Estimation of Right Atrial Pressure

Background: Right atrial pressure (RAP) can be estimated by echocardiography from inferior vena cava diameter and collapsibility (eRAPIVC), tricuspid E/e′ ratio (eRAPE/e′), or hepatic vein flow (eRAPHV). The mean of these estimates (eRAPmean) might be more accurate than single assessments.Methods an...
