Correlation between right atrial pressure measured via right heart catheterization and venous excess ultrasound, inferior vena cava diameter, and ultrasound-measured jugular venous pressure: a prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Venous congestion is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, necessitating accurate venous pressure assessment. Current methods, such as right heart catheterization (RHC), have limitations. Non-invasive techniques, including venous excess ultrasound (VExUS), inferior vena cava (IVC) assessment, and ultrasound-measured jugular venous pressure (uJVP), show promise but require validation in diverse populations.

Aims

We aimed to assess the correlation between right atrial pressure (RAP) via RHC and non-invasive methods, including VExUS, IVC diameter with collapsibility index (CI) by American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) classification, and uJVP.

Methods

In a prospective study involving 73 patients undergoing RHC, we evaluated the correlation betwe
