- The Role of Echocardiography in the Diagnosis and Assessment of Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive disease of the pulmonary vasculature, characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR).
- Cardiopulmonary Hemodynamics in Pulmonary Hypertension: Pressure Tracings, Waveforms, and More
The most recent pulmonary hypertension (PH) classification divides PH into 5 categories based on pathophysiology and clinical characteristics.
- Role of Cardiac MRI in Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH), a disorder characterized by abnormally elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary circulation and increased pulmonary vascular resistance, is classified into five diagnostic categories:pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), PH with left-sided heart disease, PH associated with lung disease and/or hypoxemia, PH due to chronic thrombotic and/or embolic disease, and a miscellaneous group.

- Ambulatory Hemodynamic Monitoring in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Although an abnormality of pulmonary hemodynamics is the defining characteristic of pulmonary hypertension (PH), there is considerable debate about the optimal method of assessing pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP).
