Correspondence on 'Echocardiographic estimation of pulmonary pressure in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation by Lemarchand et al

Heart BMJ

Lemarchand et al 1 address an everyday question in the echocardiography laboratories about the reliability of systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) estimation in cases of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). As the tricuspid orifice becomes larger and non-restrictive, the convective component.

Abstract 4148010: Evaluation of Echocardiography and Biomarkers for Prognostication of RV Failure in COVID-19 Patients Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)

Circulation

In this study, we report associations between echocardiographic findings and laboratory markers that portend RV failure in patients with ARDS secondary to COVID-19 infection on ECMO.Methods:A single-center study was conducted in the cardiovascular ICU of our institute. 0.4cm vs 1.3±0.6 cm, P< 0.05).

Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: Echocardiography is now not restricted to the echocardiographic laboratory. Apical four chamber view shows all four cardiac chambers, mitral and tricuspid valves, and the septa. A right parasternal view may be used when the heart is enlarged, to assess the tricuspid regurgitation jet.
