The definitive diagnosis of PoPH is made by invasive right heart catheterization. Alternatively, pulmonary arterial hypertension may be recognized noninvasively from the tricuspid regurgitant pressure gradient (TRPG), measured by echocardiography. In this study, we aimed to establish a simple algorithm to identify chronic liver disease patients with a high TRPG value in order to narrow down the candidates to receive echocardiography.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>TRPG was measured by echocardiography in 152 patients with chronic liver disease. Factors predictive of TRPG &gt;30\u2009mmHg were investigated. There were 28 (18%) cases with TRPG &gt;30\u2009mmHg. Independent factors associated with a high TRPG were the presence of shortness of breath, high serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and low serum albumin. Child\u2013Pugh class or the presence of ascites, varices, or encephalopathy was not associated with TRPG. There was a correlation between the serum BNP and TRPG, and the optimal cutoff value of BNP by the Youden index was 122\u2009pg\/mL, and by 100% sensitivity was 50\u2009pg\/mL. A combination of these factors identified patients with a high probability of TRPG &gt;30\u2009mmHg (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a012, positive predictive value [PPV] of 83%), no probability (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a080, PPV 0%), and intermediate probability (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a060, PPV 25\u201334%).
