超声心动图评估肺高压的研究进展

Research Progress in Echocardiography Evaluation of Pulmonary Hypertension

肺高压(PH)是一种以肺动脉压持续异常升高为特征的血流动力学疾病,PH患者的临床表现与右心室功能异常程度及右心衰竭有关。超声心动图检查具有方便和无创等优点,可用来评估心脏结构及功能,以及估测肺动脉压力,目前已成为PH的首选检查方法。随着超声心动图技术不断发展,实时三维超声心动图、三维斑点追踪技术及声学造影等均在PH的诊断中发挥着重要作用。超声心动图结合其他辅助检查方法,在PH患者检查过程中可获得更多有效信息,为PH患者的诊断、治疗、疗效评估及预后等多方面内容提供评价依据。

Pulmonary hypertension(PH)is a hemodynamic disease characterized by persistently elevated pulmonary artery pressure.The clinical manifestations of PH patients are related to the severity of abnormal right ventricular function and right heart failure.Echocardiography has the advantages of convenience and non-invasiveness,and can be used to evaluate cardiac structure and function,and measure pulmonary artery pressure.It has become the preferred examination method for PH.With the continuous development of echocardiography technology,real-time three-dimensional echocardiography,three-dimensional speckle tracking technology,and echocardiography contrast have all played important roles in the diagnosis of PH.Echocardiography combined with other auxiliary examination methods can obtain more effective information in the examination of PH patients,providing evaluation basis for the diagnosis,treatment,curative effect evaluation and prognosis of PH patients.
