What are the diagnostic tests to know the cause of my moderate pulmonary hypertension?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many tests: RHC most: Many tests are undertaken in the workup for pulmonary hypertension. The usual starting tests are an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) for valve problems / leaks & "6-minute walk test" for activity tolerance. Pulmonary function tests (PFT) & Cardiopulmonary stress tests may also be needed. The MOST IMPORTANT test, though, is the right heart cath (RHC) which is invasive. TTYD or Cardiologist.
