Summary
This study looks at whether a new computer program called IMPULSE can better detect pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) using standard heart ultrasound. About 200 adults with unexplained breathlessness or risk factors will be checked. The goal is to see if the new method is more accurate than current guidelines.
