Abstract :
Differential diagnosis between pre- and postcapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with diastolic heart failure (DHF)
is a challenge in clinical practice. The presence of PH is implicated in worse prognosis in patients with this disease. This case report
approaches the process of investigation of pulmonary hypertension in adult patient with DHF, double mitral lesion, and sarcoidosis
with poor clinical outcome.
