Basic information related to the association between right heart echocardiographic parameters and invasive pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) in dogs with pulmonary hypetension (PH) is scarce. The aim of this study was to examine the association between conventional right heart echocardiographic parameters and invasive PAP by right heart catheterization (RHC) before and after PH. Five female beagle dogs regarded as clinically healthy were used. Echocardiography and RHC were conducted before and after creating chronic embolic pulmonary hypertension (CEPH) models. The acceleration time to ejection time ratio in pulmonary artery flow profile (AT/ET), the ratio of the pulmonary artery and aortic diameter in diastole (PA/Ao), the right pulmonary artery distensibility index by M-mode method (RPAD M-mode ), the normalized right ventricular internal diameter in diastole (RVIDdn), and the normalized tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSEn) were correlated with the invasive systolic PAP (sPAP), mean PAP (mPAP) and diastolic PAP (dPAP). Multiple linear regression analysis identified AT/ET and RVIDdn as independent predictors of sPAP, PA/Ao and RVIDdn as independent predictors of mPAP, and PA/Ao and RPAD M-mode as independent predictors of dPAP. AT/ET and PA/Ao had high sensitivity and specificity for predicting CEPH. In conclusion, AT/ET, PA/Ao, RPAD M-mode , RVIDdn and TAPSEn were significantly correlated with invasive PAP and alterations in PA/Ao or AT/ET might enable clinicians to predict PH, even if tricuspid regurgitation is not observed.
