Right Heart Catheterization Accurately Diagnoses Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients With Interstitial Lung Disease: Results From a Long-Term Cohort Study

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) can lead to pulmonary hypertension (ILD-PH), worsening prognosis and increasing mortality. Diagnosing ILD-PH is challenging due to the limitations of imaging methods. Right heart catheterization (RHC) is the gold standard for diagnosing PH but is limited to ILD patients considered for lung transplantation.

Adding a New Dimension to PH Imaging

Increased pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) with downstream consequences on the right ventricle (RV) is the shared hallmark of the various forms of pulmonary hypertension (PH). The underlying pathophysiology of elevated PASP varies greatly between PH classification groups.
