CLINICAL FEATURES OF PULMONARY HYPERTENSION
Clinical onset may be acute or chronic, depending on the cause. Acute pulmonary hypertension is usually due to thromboembolism, and patients may complain of sudden dyspnea with or without hemoptysis and pleuritic chest pain. Physical examination is frequently normal or may reveal tachypnea, a loud P2, a right ventricular heave, and a pleural rub or effusion. Gradually progressive dyspnea is the major symptom Of chronic pulmonary hypertension and in addition to a loud P2 and right ventricular heave, features of right heart failure—i.e., elevated jugular venous pressure, tender hepatomegaly, and pedal edemmay be found.
