Etiologies of pulmonary hypertension (PH) include several conditions, such as left-sided and congenital heart disease, lung disease and hypoxia, diseases that affect directly the pulmonary vascular system, and thromboembolism.
The Authors describe the case of a patient who presented with dyspnea, tachycardia, and hypoxia. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) revealed severe dilation of the right ventricle associated with elevated pulmonary pressures.
