Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Detection of the causes of pulmonary hypertension in patients attending Sohag university hospital | one year | We will diagnose the cause of pulmonary hypertension in each participant. This will be done by following the diagnostic algorithm of European Society of Cardiology/ European Respiratory Society (ESC/ERS) 2015 guidelines (e.g. we will exclude that pulmonary hypertension is secondary to pulmonary disease by performing adequate assessment of the patient medical history and clinical examination, performing chest x-ray and or high resolution CT chest, spirometry...), so we will know the pattern of pulmonary hypertension etiology in patients attending of Sohag university hospital |
