Background : Transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) estimation of the pulmonary to systemic flow ratio (Qp/Qs) is routinely used in clinical practice and is included in the American Society of Echocardiography Guidelines. We sought to assess its real-world applicability with a particular focus on hemodynamically significant shunt lesions. Methods : Retrospective single institutional review of TTE's in patients with secundum atrial septal defect prior to cardiac catheterization (cath) from 2012 to 2018 was performed (n = 109), those with technically limited images for Qp/Qs calculation (n = 11) and those with time interval between TTE and cath >60 days were excluded (n = 14). Qp/Qs was calculated from stored clips by previously described methods and correlated with those obtained by oximetry. Patients were subdivided into two age groups |
