Possible...: It is possible to have pulmonary hypertension with a normal echo, especially if it is milder. The diagnosis is then made via a right heart catheterization, where the pressures leading from the heart to the lungs are measured. This is an invasive test so non-invasive tests are typically done first, including a CT scan of the chest, pulmonary function tests, etc. See lung doctor for breathing eval
