STUDY ON PULMONARY ARTERY PRESSURE EVALUATED BY ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY IN HEART FAILURE PATIENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To assess pulmonary artery pressure evaluated by echocardiography in heart failure patients. Subjects and methods: A prospective, descriptive cross-sectional study on 60 heart failure patients treated in Cardiovascular Center, Military Hospital 103 from January to August 2022. Clinical examination, preclinical tests, and echocardiography (evaluation of systolic pulmonary artery pressure) were conducted in all patients. Results: The mean systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAPs) was 43.90 ± 16.52 mmHg. 76.67% of patients had pulmonary hypertension, of which 36.67% had mild pulmonary hypertension, 31.67% had moderate pulmonary hypertension, 8.33% had severe pulmonary hypertension. PAPs had a moderate positive correlation with left atrial diameter (r = 0.321; p < 0.05) and right ventricular diameter (r = 0.368; p < 0.05). There was no correlation between PAPs and age, gender, etiology of heart failure, EF, and NT-proBNP concentration. After treatment, PAPs significantly decreased from 43.90 ± 16.52 mmHg to 35.75 ± 12.26 mmHg (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Most patients had pulmonary hypertension (76.67%). PAPs had a moderate positive correlation with left atrial diameter and right ventricular diameter. After treatment, PAPs decreased significantly.
