Introduction: A comprehensive assessment of right ventricular size and function, as well as evaluation of pulmonary artery pressures is an integral part of every echocardiographic examination. It is important to know the relevant guidelines but also the pitfalls of echocardiography. The aim: To determine the significance of echocardiography in the diagnostic process, prognosis and evaluation of treatment effectiveness in pulmonary hypertension.
Review and Discussion: The gold standard for evaluation of size, ejection fraction, and stroke volume of the right ventricle is cardiac magnetic resonance. Whereas, the gold standard for the assessments of pulmonary artery pressures is right heart catheterization. However, echocardiography is the first diagnostic modality in the assessment of size and function of the right heart.
Conclusions: Echocardiographic evaluation of the right heart plays a fundamental role in the diagnostic process of pulmonary hypertension. Echocardiography is essential to predict the course of the disease and assess the treatment efficiency.
引言：对右心室大小和功能进行全面评估以及评估肺动脉压力是每次超声心动图检查的重要组成部分。了解相关指南以及超声心动图的陷阱很重要。目的：确定超声心动图在肺动脉高压诊断过程、预后及治疗效果评估中的意义。
综述与讨论：评估右心室大小、射血分数和每搏输出量的金标准是心脏磁共振成像。而评估肺动脉压力的金标准是右心导管检查。然而，超声心动图是评估右心大小和功能的首要诊断方法。
结论：右心的超声心动图评估在肺动脉高压的诊断过程中起着重要作用。超声心动图对于预测疾病进程和评估治疗效果至关重要。
