The Role of Exercise Doppler Echocardiography to Unmask Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Selected Patients with Systemic Sclerosis and Equivocal Baseline Echocardiographic Values for Pulmonary Hypertension

The Role of Exercise Doppler Echocardiography to Unmask Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Selected Patients with Systemic Sclerosis and Equivocal Baseline Echocardiographic Values for Pulmonary Hypertension

Recently, a lower mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) cutoff of >20 mmHg for pulmonary hypertension (PH) definition has been proposed. We examined whether exercise Doppler echocardiography (EDE) can unmask PA hypertension (PAH) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients whose baseline echocardiograp...
