Doppler under pressure: It's time to cease the folly of chasing the peak right ventricular systolic pressure

摘要

There are three studies in this issue of The Journal that contribute to our understanding of the noninvasive determination of pulmonary hemodynamics. This editorial discusses aspects of each of these studies and places them in context of the contemporary practice of echocardiography. The editorial concludes with a discussion of improving current practice and research, partly based on the model of aortic stenosis (AS).
