An interventional study of Peripheral veins Doppler ultrasound in Acute Right Heart Failure, Pulmonary Hypertension and Peripheral Veins Doppler Ultrasound, sponsored by Poitiers University Hospital. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-12-01.
Sponsored by Poitiers University Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
Occurrence of acute right heart failure (ARHF) remains common during pulmonary hypertension (PH). Right atrial pressure (RAP) invasive measurement is the gold standard to diagnose ARHF in order to improve diuretic treatment management. Existence of indirect signs of ARHF on venous Doppler ultrasound waveform has long been described, but correlation with RAP has not been properly established yet. It is the aim of our study in order to obtain an additional tool to manage ARHF.

Exclusion Criteria:
Diagnostic Test: Peripheral veins Doppler ultrasound
Patients undergoing a right heart catheterization for PH diagnosis or annual follow-up in the cardiological unit of the university hospital of Poitiers will be included. A venous Doppler ultrasound will be performed by a vascular physician, with experience in vascular ultrasound imaging, within 4 hours before the right heart catheterization. Morphological parameters of vena cava, and velocimetric parameters of femoral, jugular and supra-hepatic veins will be assessed in order to study their correlation with right auricular pressure value.
Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios of venous stasis index
Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios of venous stasis index\*, measured by Pulsed Doppler on common femoral veins, as a diagnostic criterion for ARHF (defined by RAP ≥10 mm Hg). \* Defined as duration of non-anterograde venous flow during 3 seconds/ 3 seconds
Time frame: Inclusion day within 4 hours before the right heart catheterization
