Correlation of PAAT with SPAP estimated by different TTE methods
| Method | Number of TTE | Number of patients | r | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TRVmax | 19 | 15 | − 0.83 | < 0.001 |
| PDA | 115 | 68 | − 0.66 | < 0.001 |
| VSD | 9 | 9 | − 0.43 | 0.128 |
| Any method | 137 | 81 | − 0.63 | < 0.001 |
TRVmax maximum velocity of tricuspid valve regurgitation, PDA patent ductus arteriosus, VSD ventricular septal defect, r correlation coefficient
