How is pulmonary hypertension discovered if different from when gp does blood pressure with arm cuff?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not by BP cuff: Testing for pulmonary hypertension is driven by predisposing conditions and symptoms. Visit this site for info: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pulmonary-hypertension/symptoms-causes/syc-20350697 Tests for pulmonary hypertension include, chest x-ray, EKG, echocardiography, and heart MI etc. Wish you good health!
