Objective:

To discuss pulmonary hypertension in relation to chronic lung disease and left heart disease.

Approach:
  • Interview: Lisa Fuchs interviews Stephen Biehl about the clinical aspects of pulmonary hypertension.
Key Findings:
  • There is a clinical 'mismatch' that may indicate pulmonary vascular disease.
  • Symptoms of pulmonary hypertension may exceed what imaging or spirometry can reveal.
  • Echocardiography alone has limitations in assessing pulmonary hypertension.
Limitations:
  • The reliance on echocardiography may not provide a complete picture of pulmonary hypertension.
