A better method to evaluate the reliability of echocardiography for assessment of pulmonary hypertension: comparison of tricuspid regurgitant spectrum quality grading and tricuspid valve regurgitation degree

CONCLUSIONS: The US-PASP with TR-SQG III or IV is trustworthy, and its accuracy and consistency are better than those predicted by the traditional severity of TR. The establishment of the ultrasound evaluation system of TR-SQG helps clinicians to judge whether the US-PASP is accurate, credible, and reliable.PMID:38410615 | PMC:PMC10894378 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1084
