Right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) estimated by echocardiography is critical for the initial screening and follow‐up of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Inter‐observer variability (IOV) in RVSP can impact clinical decision making. This study assessed whether a simple guideline‐based teaching intervention could reduce the IOV in RVSP interpretation.
