Abstract
Systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) can be estimated noninvasively from the pulmonary valve closure (Pc) — tricuspid valve opening (To) interval (1,2). In tricuspid regurgitation, however, this may be unreliable. SPAP is underestimated in some patients especially with severe regurgitation, even if a raised right atrial pressure is added.
