A member asked:
Docs, could a transesophageal echocardiogram detect pulmonary hypertension?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: any echo can look for indirect evidence of Pulm HTN such as right heart failure or high velocity tricuspid regurgitation. direct pressure measurements are not possible non-invasively and require a right heart cath.
