Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Symptoms of fatigue, chest discomfort, tachypnea, and dyspnea on exertion, palpitations, and cough are common in pulmonary hypertension. Examination may reveal peripheral edema, jugular venous distention, a precordial heave, and accentuation of the pulmonary compartment of the second heart sound. Neither rhonchi nor a systemic blood pressure of 130/90 mmHg is associated with pulmonary hypertension.
