A member asked:
Can an echocardiogram still estimate pulmonary pressure if there is no tricuspid regurgitation?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
PAH : Echo with pulmonary hypertension and no ti would be very unusual. There are other ways to estimate pa pressure but if no ti it probably isn't very high.

Yes: In experienced hands pa pressures can be estimated. However it is not the ultimate test of pulmonary pressures esp pah. That requires a right heart cath.
