A member asked:
Can a normal chest x ray and a normal ecg rule out pulmonary hypertension?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately not, a 2D-echo heart will be more sensitive in diagnosing pulmonary hypertension that is in general difficult to diagnose with common tests as mentioned in your post.
