About this trial
This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms and to identify associated clinical and hematologic factors.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
- Age 18 years or older
Confirmed diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasm (polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, or primary myelofibrosis)
Stable clinical condition
Written informed consent
Disqualifiers
- Significant left-sided valvular heart disease
Congenital heart disease
COPD or interstitial lung disease causing pulmonary hypertension
Poor echocardiographic window
Trial population
Adult patients with confirmed myeloproliferative neoplasms (polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, or primary myelofibrosis) attending the Hematology Unit and Critical Care Department at Assiut University Hospital.

Trial groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Prevalence of Pulmonary Hypertension in MPN Patients
PASP measured by echocardiography using TR velocity. Pulmonary hypertension defined as PASP greater than 35 mmHg or TR velocity greater than 2.8 m/s. Prevalence will be calculated.
Secondary outcomes
Prevalence of right ventricular dysfunction
Proportion of patients with right ventricular dysfunction defined by TAPSE \<17 mm, RV fractional area change \<35%, or tissue Doppler S' \<9.5 cm/s
Pulmonary artery systolic pressure
Mean estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (mmHg) measured by echocardiography
Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)
Mean TAPSE value (mm) measured by echocardiography.
Right ventricular fractional area change
Mean right ventricular fractional area change (%) measured by echocardiography.
