A member asked:

Can i have pah if ct showed concern for it but echo was ok? stress echo was done 6mnths before ct. could the echo results have changed in 6mnths?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Typically a stress echo only includes images on the left ventricle. So the right ventricle and tricuspid valve may not have been interrogated. The ct findings of pah are usually enlarged pulmonary arteries. This finding is suggestive but not diagnostic of pah. Further testing is needed to confirm diagnosis.
