What you will learn
Signs and symptoms of pulmonary hypertension can be quite vague and unspecific. It is not uncommon that there is a long delay until the diagnosis is established. In this chapter, we introduce you to a patient with pulmonary hypertension who will share her personal story with you. She will tell you how she was diagnosed and how the disease impacts her life. In addition, we will discuss the individual diagnostic tests that are applied in the workup of patients inclduing: BNP, 6 min walk test, CT scan, and most importantly, right heart catheter. Here we will take you to the cath lab to show you a complete procedure.
