The goal of this observational study is to assess the efficacy that the addition of novel markers cardiac function, particularly of right ventricular (RV) function in echocardiography, and ECG have in detecting pulmonary hypertension.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Can novel markers in ECG and echocardiography suggest the presence of PH? Can existing screening guidelines be improved with the addition of these markers?
