I wonder if i have that, i have excessive veins in my lung x-rays, shortness of breath, and when i lay down pain like angina at times, i also developed A-fib irregular heart rhythm. Ive been in the er for my a-fib and been on the o2 monitor, and when i feel my chest get tight, watched the o2 level drop 6 numbers in a matter of seconds, then when the squeezing goes away, it return to normal 98 or 99 to 100 again.
Excellent video. I'd like to add that the presence of pericardial effusion is an ominous prognostic sign in these cases. Muchas gracias, amigo. Greetings from Spain.
Thank you for sharing this video. I am an adult echo tech of 3 years and my daughter has a PFO. Took her to a pediatric cardiologist 2 days ago and he stated that a PFO is no concern and does not cause Pulmonary Hypertension. Surely, with even intermittent L to R shunting as is with PFO's, it can lead to Pulmonary Hypertension! Have seen many adult echo patients with PHT and PFO and several with Eisenmenger's syndrome.
Thanks very much for your comment. You are the first person to post a comment since I posted this video three months ago. I will be putting out some more interesting cases in the future. Stay tuned.
question remains.. anyone ?

What if there was no tricuspid regurgitation what would be the alternative method for calculate RVSP?

excellent video. one quesiton.
RVSP / SPAP > 70 mmHg ... you showed this toward the end of video
RVSP i get it, its about 111+20 =>130
SPAP (systolic pulmonary artery pressure), how you get this number ?
velocity of PA blood flow ?

@fchen7 Good question, these are equivalent. RVSP = SPAP

@fchen7 SPAP 4(Vtr-jet velocity)^2 + RAP (estimated from IVC collapse)
RVSP = SPAP unless there is pulmonary stenosis .

with no music and some additional comments to the videos would be perfect at all

This is one if the most sever cases of PHT I have ever seen. Let me know what you think.
