In this insightful Podcast, expert advanced practice providers, Corinne Young & Jessica Glennie share practical strategies for identifying and screening for pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). They discuss how to recognize subtle red flags—such as declining DLCO, changes in walk test performance, and discrepancies in pulmonary function test results—that may indicate the presence of PH. The conversation also covers when to order echocardiograms, when to refer for right heart catheterization, and how to distinguish ILD progression from the development of PH. With a focus on multidisciplinary collaboration and real-world clinical workflows, this episode offers valuable, actionable guidance for APPs, pulmonologists, and care teams managing ILD populations.
