Patients with suspected pulmonary hypertension based on echocardiography in Behçet's disease: a 5-year follow-up study
Progressive PH was observed only in Group IV PH patients, while other groups remained generally asymptomatic. Although the number of patients enrolled in this study is limited implementation of TEE to the follow-up of BD patients with PAI for screening and monitoring PH can be beneficial for early diagnosis and defining treatment strategy.
