ABSTRACT
Doppler echocardiography is used to screen for HIV-related pulmonary arterial hypertension (HRPAH). We studied patients with HIV infection to determine the accuracy of Doppler echocardiography-estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) compared with PASP measured during right heart catheterization. Doppler echocardiography-estimated PASP was inaccurate in 19.7% of cases. Using Doppler echocardiography-estimated PASP, one in three patients with HRPAH was missed. Doppler echocardiography estimates of PASP are not accurate in patients with HIV.
