Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common disorder among patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The symptoms are usually nonspecific and overlooked. Thus, a noninvasive screening modality is recommended for early detection of PH because of its potentially significant impact on treatment strategy and clinical outcomes.
Objectives: To evaluate the usefulness of assessing forced vital capacity (FVC%), diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO%), and FVC%/DLCO% ratio to predict pulmonary hypertension among patients with ILDs.
