1. pHTN is increased pressure in the #pulmonaryarteries
2. Most common symptoms include: EXERTIONAL #dyspnea, fatigue, pleuritic chest pain, and even #hemoptysis🩸
3. It's typically diagnosed on #ECHO showing dilated arteries, right❤️strain, & elevated RV systolic pressure!

4. There are 5 #WHO Classes of pHTN, distinguished based on physiology and treatment options:
1⃣ Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
2⃣ pHTN 2/2 LV failure
3⃣ pHTN 2/2 Respiratory/Lung disease
4⃣ CTEPH
5⃣ Other causes

Let’s start with a problem representation:
A 30 y/o F presents w/ a 6-mon history of a nonproductive cough worse w/ activity, a recent-onset fever, blurred vision, dry eyes who was found to have uveitis, erythema nodosum, & crackles on PE along w/ hilar LAD & hypercalcemia

Let's start with the cough.
A chronic cough in a 30 y/o? hmmm
Cough thinking about a pulmonary process (anywhere from nose to alveoli) but also thinking about GI and cardiac etiologies causing cough as well
