Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a complex condition with multiple etiological factors. The ability to identify a potential underlying cause is crucial for accurate diagnosis, patient management, and prognostication. This article presents a series of three patient cases to illustrate the enigmatic nature of PH diagnosis. Understanding the enigmatic nature of PH and implementing focused clinical evaluation and protocol-driven management are crucial in deciphering this complex condition. By unraveling the mysteries surrounding PH, we can pave the way for effective interventions and better patient care.
