    Author : Frida Hermansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Pulmonary Hypertension; pulmonary hypertension; improving; physiological-guided; machine learning; neural networks; NN; artificial neural networks; non-invasive; PH; tricuspid regurgitation; peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity; tricuspid regurgitation velocity; right ventricular systolic pressure; VGG16; Unet; TR-CNN; CNN; pulmonell hypertension; förbättra; fysiologisk-guidning; neurala nätverk; trikuspidal regurgitation; maximal trikuspidal regurgitation; icke-invasivt;

    Abstract : Diagnosing pulmonary hypertension (PH) with right heart catheterization (RHC) is associated with a risk for complications and high expenses, leading to late diagnoses [1]. Transthoracic echocardiography can be used to assess non-invasive indicators for PH such as right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), which can be estimated by combining the peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV) with the estimated right arterial pressure (RAP).
