Are pulmonary artery pulsatility indexes able to differentiate chronic pulmonary thromboembolism from pulmonary arterial hypertension? An echocardiographic and catheterization study

Original language description

The differentiation between chronic pulmonary thromboembolic hypertension (CTEPH) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) remains a clinical challenge. The aim of our study was to evaluate the usefulness of both echocardiographically and invasively derived pulmonary artery pulsatility indexes in the etiologic differentiation of patients with CTEPH and PAH. We retrospectively analyzed the results of echocardiographic and invasive hemodynamic examinations in 125 patients with either CTEPH (n = 62) or PAH (n = 63). Invasive data were obtained in 52 patients with CTEPH and 43 PAH patients. Using echocardiography, pulmonary artery systolic (PASP), diastolic (PADP) and mean (PAMP) pressures were estimated from velocities of tricuspid regurgitation and pulmonary regurgitation, respectively. Pulse pressure (PP) was calculated as the difference between PASP and PADP. To obtain pulmonary artery pulsatility indexes, we normalized PP by PASP (PP/PASP), by PAMP (PP/PAMP) and by PADP (PP/PADP). Pu
