Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients aged 18 years or older at the time of enrollment 2. Patients who underwent echocardiography within 48 hours before or after the right heart catheterization
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients who received treatment interventions that could affect hemodynamics between the echocardiography and right heart catheterization (such as dialysis, medication administration, etc.) 2. Patients for whom echocardiography could not be performed within 48 hours before or after the right heart catheterization due to scheduling constraints or the clinical system 3. Patients who requested to withdraw from the study or revoked their consent 4. Patients deemed unsuitable for the study by the principal investigator for any other reason
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The positivity rate of echocardiographic indicators in cases with mean pulmonary artery pressure greater than 20 mmHg as measured by right heart catheterization. The positivity rate of echocardiographic indicators in cases with mean pulmonary artery pressure greater than 20 mmHg, pulmonary artery wedge pressure less than or equal to 15 mmHg, and pulmonary vascular resistance greater than 2 WU as measured by right heart catheterization. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Correlation between right heart catheterization indicators and echocardiographic indicators. Occurrence of cardiovascular events during the follow-up period. Occurrence of all-cause mortality during the follow-up period. Interventions for pulmonary hypertension during the follow-up period. Physical findings: Changes in WHO/NYHA functional class, 6-minute walk distance, and cardiopulmonary exercise test results from baseline to the end of the observation period. | — |
