Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a hemodynamic disorder defined by the abnormal increase in pulmonary arterial pressure and arteriolar pulmonary vascular resistance, derived from multifactorial endothelial dysfunction and pathological vascular remodeling. It is a progressive and serious disease that leads to right ventricular (RV) failure and premature death due to heart failure. Early diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension is important, and transthoracic echocardiography stands out as the main tool to detect this disease early and non-invasively. In this article, we will review the main recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology Clinical Practice Guidelines regarding the use of echocardiography in the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension.
