  Pressure reflection in the pulmonary circulation by echocardiography in patients with left heart disease indicates reactive pulmonary hypertension.

  The two hemodynamic profiles in left heart disease (LHD) with pulmonary hypertension (PH), passive PH with increased pulmonary venous pressure and reactive PH with increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR > 3 Wood units, WU), are difficult to distinguish non-invasively. We hypothesized that echocardiographic signs of pressure reflection (PR) in the pulmonary circulation can be used to diagnose reactive PH. ⋯ Echocardiographic assessment of PR in patients with LHD can be used to identify or exclude reactive PH.
