Pulmonary hypertension due to high cardiac output

Kanza N. Qaiser, Sandeep Sahay, Arriano R. TonelliCleveland Clinic. Houston Methodist Hospital.United States Respiratory MedicineRespir Med 2023; DOI: 10.1016/j.rmed.2022.107034 AbstractPulmonary hypertension (PH) is usually associated with a normal or decreased cardiac output (CO). Less commonly, PH can occur in the context of a hyperdynamic circulation, characterized by high CO (>8 L/min) and/or cardiac index ≥4 L/min/m2 in
