Cause

• COPD patients have proportional pulmonary hypertension
• genetic mutations in pulmonary hypertension

Symptoms

• Fixed splitting S2 and loud P2 heart sound is suggestive of pulmonary hypertension

Lab Findings

• pulmonary hypertension initial labs include BNP, CBC, TSH, LFT, ANA
• presence of RVH and P pulmonale can suggest pulmonary hypertension
• echo findings in pulmonary hypertension includes, high RVSP, TR, and RV dysfunction
• large PA size on CT can suggest pulmonary hypertension but does not tell severity

Work up

• normal right heart catheterization pressures
• pulmonary hypertension pre and post capillary pressures
• hemodynamics in portopulmonary hypertension
• pulmonary hypertension by groups and workup
• right heart cath RHC can evaluate for shunt and cardiac output for pulmonary hypertension
• right heat cath RHC can be used for vasoreactivity testing during pulmonary hypertension workup
• PVOD pulmonary venoocclusive disease and PCH pulmonary hemangiomatosis

Other pathophysiology

• High PCWP in pulmonary hypertension can be beneficial
• ESRD patients with AV fistula can cause high cardiac output heart failure and pulmonary hypertension
• TAPSE shows how RV is adapting to pulmonary hypertension. Lower TAPSE is associated with higher mortality
• cor pulmonale is right heart failure from pulmonary hypertension
• sickle cell disease and pulmonary hypertension
• drugs associated with pulmonary hypertension

Treatment

• use endothelin antagonist to treat pulmonary hypertension in sickle cell patients
• pulmonary hypertension treatment overview
