“…A full assessment including history, ECG and echocardiography will help to identify PH due to left heart disease ( 38 ). This is important as left heart disease will be the major aetiology of PH encountered in echocardiography departments ( 9 ). If there is an intermediate or high probability of PH then further echocardiographic evaluation should be made to exclude a cardiac cause for PH.…”

“…The classification of PH categorises different clinical conditions into five groups ( Table 1 ). This is an important categorisation for two reasons: first, the most common form of PH encountered in any echocardiography department will be secondary to left heart disease ( 9 ) and hence a full study with consideration of indirect measures of elevation in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure must be performed in all cases consistent with the minimum dataset ( 1 ); secondly, the interpretation of supportive measurements for classification of patients with intermediate probability of PH, such pulmonary artery acceleration/mid systolic notching, must be taken in the context of the possible underlying cause as these may be more likely in cases with pre-capillary PH.…”

“…The most common cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH) worldwide is left heart disease (LHD), 1 and valvular heart disease (VHD) is amongst the leading causes of this type of secondary PH. 2 Pulmonary hypertension affects virtually all patients with severe symptomatic mitral valve disease and up to 65% of those with symptomatic aortic stenosis. 3 Mitral and aortic valve diseases increase left atrial pressure which, in turn, leads to an initially passive and potentially reversible increase in pulmonary pressures.…”

“…In patients with left heart disease, the presence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an important feature as it represents a marker of more advanced disease and poor prognosis ( 1 ). Pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease (group 2 PH) is the by far most common type of PH, and valve disease is the leading cause ( 2 ). Independent of symptoms the presence of PH in patients with valve disease indicates a decompensated state of the disease with left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) dysfunction and exhausted compensatory mechanism, i.e., a state of chronic heart failure (HF) with a propensity for acute exacerbations, e.g., in the context of arrhythmia or volume challenges.…”
