What you will learn

Echocardiography plays an important role in pulmonary hypertension — not only in the screening of patients, but also in assessing prognosis and monitoring of treatment effects. This chapter will provide you with the typical echo features of pulmonary hypertension such as right ventricular enlargement, the "D-shaped" ventricle, right ventricular dysfunction, poor cardiac output, and more. You will learn how these findings impact prognosis and how they are used in various clinical scenarios.
