A 50-year-old male was referred for echocardiographic evaluation for effort breathlessness. Echocardiography showed normal thickness and functions of left ventricle. Right atrium and right ventricle were normal in size. Right ventricular free wall thickness was 7 mm. Pulse Doppler evaluation of tricuspid and pulmonary artery flow were normal. Pulmonary artery end diastolic pressure was 10 mmHg by pulmonary regurgitation jet. Right ventricular systolic pressure was 30 mmHg by tricuspid regurgitation jet.
