Abstract

Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is an emerging issue. The prognosis in PHT is usually poor, independently from the etiology, with progressive right ventricle failure. Despite right Heart Catheterism is the gold standard for diagnosis of PHT, echocardiography provides important information about prognosis and is helpful in both follow-up and first evaluation of PHT patients, showing a good correlation with invasively measured parameters by right heart catheterization. However, it is important to understand the limits of this method, particularly in some settings, where transthoracic echocardiography has shown a lack of accuracy. In this case report we documented a case of rapid onset (3 months) idiopathic PHT and we provided a critical analysis of echocardiographic role in PHT.

快速发作的特发性肺动脉高压：一例超声心动图参数回顾报告。

肺动脉高压（PHT）是一个新出现的问题。PHT的预后通常较差，与病因无关，伴有进行性右心室衰竭。尽管右心导管是诊断PHT的金标准，但超声心动图提供了有关预后的重要信息，有助于PHT患者的随访和首次评估，显示出与右心导管侵入性测量参数的良好相关性。然而，了解这种方法的局限性很重要，特别是在一些情况下，经胸超声心动图显示缺乏准确性。在本病例报告中，我们记录了一例快速发作（3个月）的特发性PHT，并对超声心动图在PHT中的作用进行了批判性分析。
