Overview
One of the most common initial presentations of patients with pulmonary hypertension is dyspnea; therefore, the differential diagnosis is very broad. As the disease progresses with time, more symptoms related to right ventricular hypertrophy and failure occur; which further narrows down the differential diagnosis.[1]
Differential Diagnosis
- Left-sided heart failure
- Coronary artery disease
- Portal hypertension
