Early identification and intervention are crucial but challenging due to the invasive right heart catheterization (RHC). This study aimed to develop and validate a non-invasive diagnostic model, the Predictive Echocardiography Cpc-PH Score (PECS), using echocardiographic parameters to facilitate detection of Cpc-PH.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective analysis encompassing 198 patients with suspected PH-LHD, admitted from July 2010 through December 2023, was executed. Patients were divided into Cpc-PH and Ipc-PH\/No-PH groups based on RHC in accordance with the 7th World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension criteria for PECS model construction. Chi-square and L1-regularized backward elimination refined predictive indicators. Model efficacy and stability were appraised via receiver operating characteristic and 5-fold cross-validation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The PECS model, incorporating a suite of indicators including valvular heart disease, left atrial systolic diameter, interventricular septal thickness, mitral valve E\/Em ratio, left ventricular fractional shortening, and tricuspid regurgitation velocity, demonstrated good predictive performance, achieving an area under characteristic (AUC) of 0.761 (95% CI: 0.692\u20130.823,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.001).
