Features of the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Hypertension in Outpatient Practice.

Abstract

For the past 20 years, there has been no significant decrease in the time from the onset of symptoms to the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Therefore, it is very important to improve the awareness of therapists about clinical manifestations of the disease, risk factors for the development of PH, and the major diagnostic stages for early detection of the disease and timely administration of appropriate therapy.
