Inferior Vena Cava (IVC- Echocardiography)!

[@GSXSF1k]

I am a sonographer with 30+ years of experience in the USA, and I have attended formal schooling and training in the best hospitals in the country. A couple of years ago I discussed with a Southeast Asian sonologist (3 months of ultrasound schooling) the importance of an abnormal size of the IVC related to the heart. She was adamant that there was no connection. I left her office and thought how in the heck did she pass her licensed test. From then on I never approach a Southeast Asian sonologist.

What does Dilated inferior vena cava without inspiratory collapse, suggesting elevated right atrial pressure of 15 mmHg mean?

[@the_echo_lady]

That's suggests that the pressures from the right atrium are higher than normal and need to be investigated why...

[@marishanna275]

Can something like that be resolved with diet and exercise? Would you say this suggests pulmonary hypertension? Thank you

[@marishanna275]

​@the_echo_lady sorry one more question, can having coffee or caffiene right before an echocardiogram alter the results ?

I think latest pressure assessment values are like 3,8,8 and 15?

[@the_echo_lady]

Hello! That depends on the guidelines... I'm using the British society of Echocardiography latest guidelines. You can check the guidelines from your country.
