Computed Tomography Assessment of Pulmonary Hypertension in Interstital Lung Disease Patients at Tertiary Care Centre

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a major complication of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and significantly worsens morbidity and mortality. Early identification of PH is crucial for patient management. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest, routinely performed during ILD evaluation, offers a non-invasive means of assessing pulmonary artery (PA) dimensions. This article reviews the role of CT-derived PA measurements in predicting PH among ILD patients, highlights threshold values, and summarizes correlations with hemodynamic parameters.
