Kramer, MD, Avraham Raccah, MD, Zaza Iakobishvilli, MD, David Shitrit, MD, Gideon Sahar, MD, David Hasdai, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 81, Issue 3, Pages 1056-1060 (March 2006) DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2005.07.073 Copyright © 2006 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
Fig 1 The correlation between PASP estimated by TTE and measured by RHC based on the different etiologies of lung disease. (PASP = pulmonary artery systolic pressure; RHC = right heart catheterization; TTE = transthoracic echocardiography.)

Fig 2 Mean (±) PASP in the sub-groups according to etiology of lung disease and modality of measurement. (PASP = pulmonary artery systolic pressure; RHC = right heart catheterization; TTE = transthoracic echocardiography.)
