The usefulness of contrast during exercise echocardiography for the assessment of systolic pulmonary pressure
BACKGROUND: The systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAPs) can be accurately estimated, non-invasively, using continuous-wave Doppler (CWD) ultrasound measurement of the peak velocity of a tricuspid regurgitant (TR) jet. However, it is often difficult to obtain adequate tricuspid regurgitation signal...
