Özet

Background. Right heart catheterization (RHC) remains the gold standard to diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension among lung transplantation candidates. Doppler echocardiography (DE) may be as accurate as RHC, without risks of an invasive test. The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility of DE for the measurement of pulmonary artery pressure in lung transplantation candidates and the correlation between pulmonary artery pressures estimated by DE versus measured by RHC.
