Checklist for the Echocardiographic Evaluation of Pulmonary Hypertension

 • Record estimated PASP

 • Evaluate RV size and function

 • Evaluate for signs of elevated PVR

 • Estimate volume status

 • Evaluate severity of TR

 • Evaluate for pericardial effusion

 • Evaluate for causes of PH (left heart disease, shunt lesions)

 • Differentiate PAH from PVH
