Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure and Mortality in the Oldest Old

Abstract: Objectives: The objectives of the study were to assess pulmonary artery systolic pressure, its association with clinical and echocardiographic variables and its impact on 5-year mortality in a community-dwelling population of the oldest old. Methods: Subjects were recruited from the Jerusalem Longitudinal Cohort Study. Echocardiography was performed at home, with standard measurements being taken including tricuspid regurgitation (TR) velocity (n = 300). Survival status at 5-year follow-up was assessed via the… Show more

“…An E/E' ratio ≥4 had high sensitivity and specificity for predicting right atrial pressure ≥10 mm Hg in intensive care unit patients without cardiac surgery [3]. The study by Leibowitz et al [1] did not evaluate RV Doppler parameters. Further studies should be performed to assess the correlation between age and RV tissue Doppler diastolic parameters such as the tricuspid E/E' ratio.…”

“…We agree that echocardiographic assessment of right ventricular diastolic function has potential utility in many clinical scenarios including the effect of aging on cardiac and pulmonary function. Unfortunately, these parameters were not systemically examined in our study cohort [2]. We join with Demirkol et al [1] in calling for future studies to assess the effect of aging on right ventricular diastolic function.…”
