Comparison of simultaneous Doppler- and catheter-derived right ventricular dP/dt in hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
Doppler estimation of RV dP/dt correlates well with micromanometer catheter-measured values in children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Doppler estimation of RV dP/dt is a method of quantifying RV systolic function independent of geometric assumptions, and may be a valuable method for longitudinal analysis of RV function.
