Your care team
Mayo Clinic's patient-centered, multidisciplinary approach to care means that the doctors and other health professionals on your team work together to evaluate your condition and develop a treatment plan. Often this can be done within a few days.
Our doctors diagnose and treat about 7,000 people with pulmonary hypertension each year. Mayo Clinic is one of a select few U.S. medical centers specially designated as an accredited Center of Comprehensive Care by the Pulmonary Hypertension Association.
Advanced diagnosis and treatment
You may need to undergo testing to assess your condition. These tests may include:
- Blood tests.
- Chest X-ray.
- Chest CT scan.
- Perfusion lung scan.
- Electrocardiogram.
- Echocardiogram.
- Genetic testing.
- Heart catheterization.
- Lung (pulmonary) function test.
- Heart MRI.
- Sleep study.
- Exercise testing.
After you're diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, doctors work with you and the coordinators in the Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic to develop a treatment plan based on the type of pulmonary hypertension, your needs and goals. It may involve complex medical therapies such as medicine given by mouth, inhaled medicine and medicine delivered through continuous infusion. The infusion might be delivered into a vein, which is called an intravenous infusion. Or it might be delivered under the skin, which is called a subcutaneous infusion.
In some cases, lung or heart-and-lung transplant may be needed. For people with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), Mayo Clinic has expertise in balloon pulmonary angioplasty and surgical thromboendarterectomy.
Throughout your care at Mayo Clinic, doctors will regularly assess your response to treatment and determine whether your treatment is effective or needs to be adjusted.
Education and support
A coordinator provided you with education about your medicine management and explained what to do if you experience complications. Nurses with expertise in helping patients manage their medicines work closely with our physician staff to coordinate your treatment plan, including regular communication between appointments by patient online portal or telephone. The Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic team worked together to manage or help prevent complications of your condition.
The staff in the Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic offers thorough follow-up care. Team members provide ongoing consultation on medicines, psychosocial issues, direction for treatment and research opportunities. The staff members also partner with your primary care provider for continuing care.
