Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP)

Pulmonary artery systolic pressure from the TR peak velocity (4v²) plus right atrial pressure estimated from the IVC.

PASP ≈ 64 mmHg

TR gradient 49 + RAP 15 mmHg

Worked steps

  1. TR peak gradient (simplified Bernoulli)

    ΔP = 4v² = 4 × 3.5² = 49 mmHg

  2. Add right atrial pressure (from IVC size & collapse)

    PASP = ΔP + RAP = 49 + 15 = 64 mmHg

Reference: ASE/EACVI chamber quantification (2015). In the absence of RVOT/pulmonary stenosis, PASP equals RV systolic pressure.
