Can pulmonary hypertension and increased pulmonary vascular resistance be ruled in and ruled out by echocardiography?

BACKGROUND Several treatment options are available for pulmonary vascular disease, and more patients are considered for right heart catheterization. The aims of this study were to evaluate the diagnostic ability of echocardiography to detect pulmonary hypertension and increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). METHODS This retrospective study comprised 118 patients investigated within 48 ...

pulmonary vein stenosis as a rare cause for pulmonary hypertension, documented by three-dimensional echocardiography

introduction pulmonary vein stenosis includes narrowing of one or more pulmonary veins that may have congenital or acquired causes. congenital pulmonary vein stenosis is a rare condition and also a rare cause for pulmonary hypertension. since identifying the etiology of pulmonary hypertension plays a crucial role in medical and surgical planning, we decided to introduce a rare case of pulmonary...
