A 29-year-old lady referred to you for assessment of SOB. She is an active person who ran 2 marathons in the past. Currently, she noticed SOB after running 3 km, which is unusual for her. This has been going on for the past 2 years. when she started to notice a gradual decrease in her exercise capacity. No CP, cough, LL edema, or SOB during bedtime. She has no significant past medical history, and she is not on any medication. No prior history of smoking or exposure to environmental or occupational dusts or gases. Physical examination revealed a normal body mass index of 23 kg/ m2. Normal vital signs, and on examination, there was normal S1 and loud S2; otherwise, it was normal. CXR was normal. CT chest showed normal lung parenchyma with a mildly dilated main pulmonary artery. PFT showed normal spirometry with a lower limit of normal DLCO. The echocardiogram showed high systolic pulmonary artery pressure The next step in the investigation is:

الإجابة: C. Invasive right heart catheter

✓ مطابق للمصدر 5• Congestive Heart Failure [Notes].pdf · p. 8

The picture is suspected pulmonary hypertension: progressive exertional dyspnoea, loud S2, a dilated main pulmonary artery, normal lung parenchyma and spirometry, low-normal DLCO, and a high estimated PA systolic pressure on echo. Echo only estimates the pressure. Right heart catheterisation measures pressures directly in the pulmonary artery (and PCWP), so it is the next step to confirm the diagnosis. A treadmill test looks for coronary ischaemia. Bronchoscopy is not indicated with normal lungs. A pulmonary angiogram is not the confirmatory test.

ليش كل خيار صح أو غلط

  • A ليش غلط

    A treadmill test looks for exertional ischaemia (ST depression, chest pain). This patient has no chest pain, so it does not address her raised pulmonary pressure.

  • C ليش صح

    Right heart catheterisation measures the pressure within the heart directly, including the pulmonary artery and PCWP, so it confirms what echo only suggests.
