Abstract:
Transthoracic echocardiography(TTE)is the preferred noninvasive modality for screening and diagnosing pulmonary hypertension(PH).By measuring parameters such as tricuspid regurgitation velocity(TRV),TTE can estimate pulmonary artery systolic pressure(PASP)and evaluate right heart function.TTE plays a critical role in the early screening,risk stratification,and prognostic assessment of PH,particularly in large-scale epidemiological studies.Furthermore,in percutaneous valvular interventions(e.g.,transcatheter aortic valve replacement,mitral valve edge-to-edge repair),TTE provides essential hemodynamic data for patient selection,intraoperative decision-making,and postoperative follow-up.This review summarizes recent advances in TTE for PH evaluation and its application in valvular interventions in order to support clinical practice.
