Abstract
Group 2 Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with left heart disease (LHD;Group 2 PH) and is the most common form of PH. Group 2 PH represents an important subgroup of patients with LHD where the development of PH leads to a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis may provide an opportunity to intervene and significantly delay progression. In addition to clinical suspicion, several approaches including hemodynamic assessment, exercise testing, and imaging techniques play an important role in better disease characterization and management. Here, we review the role of physiologic based hemodynamic and exercise assessments of Group 2 PH patients.
