Talk 2 Overview
Pulmonary hypertension is a group of diseases with poor prognosis, and early diagnosis as well as accurate assessment of severity are of critical clinical importance.
Echocardiography is positioned as the first-line diagnostic tool because it is noninvasive and can be performed repeatedly; however, its diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility have inherent technical limitations.
In this presentation, I will introduce practical “Tips & Tricks” to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound diagnosis in pulmonary hypertension, which can be applied immediately in daily clinical practice.
