Pulmonary hypertension is an important medical condition and often underrecognized in primary care. It has a variety of causes, and its most common presenting symptom is dyspnea. As primary care clinicians, we often see patients with symptoms of dyspnea and pulmonary hypertension is not a health problem we commonly encounter. Yet, early recognition and diagnosis is important and has major implications for patient outcomes. What are some clues that a patient might have pulmonary hypertension? What are its most common causes and what are the potential complications if it goes unrecognized? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Robert L. Scott, M.D., Ph.D., from the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Arizona campus of the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Pulmonary Hypertension”.
