Validity of echocardiographic tricuspid regurgitation gradient to screen for new definition of pulmonary hypertension

Background: Currently an echocardiographic threshold for the tricuspid regurgitation gradient (TRG) of > 31 mmHg is recommended for screening for pulmonary hypertension (PH). Invasively diagnosed PH was recently redefined as mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) > 20 mmHg instead of ≥ 25 mmH...
