In this exploratory analysis of 35 patients with ischemic cardiogenic shock, we evaluated the correlation between tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV) and pulmonary artery catheter-derived pressures. TRV correlated best with pulmonary artery mean pressure ( = 0.54, = 0.0009), more than with systolic or diastolic pressures. A TRV threshold of 2.3 m/s identified mean pressure >25 mmHg with 81% sensitivity and 62% specificity. These findings suggest that TRV may serve as a non-invasive indicator of elevated pulmonary pressure in critically ill patients when invasive monitoring is unavailable. Further validation in larger, diverse cohorts is needed.
在对35例缺血性心源性休克患者的这项探索性分析中,我们评估了三尖瓣反流速度(TRV)与肺动脉导管测得的压力之间的相关性。TRV与肺动脉平均压的相关性最佳(=0.54,=0.0009),超过了与收缩压或舒张压的相关性。TRV阈值为2.3 m/s时,识别平均压>25 mmHg的敏感度为81%,特异度为62%。这些发现表明,在无法进行有创监测时,TRV可能作为危重症患者肺动脉压力升高的非侵入性指标。需要在更大、更多样化的队列中进行进一步验证。
