HCPLive sat down with Anjali Vaidya, MD, FACC, FASE, FACP, Director of the Advanced Pulmonary Hypertension, Right Heart Failure & CTEPH Program at Temple University Hospital, at CHEST 2026 in a video interview to discuss why pulmonary hypertension diagnosis depends on integrating echocardiography with right heart catheterization (RHC) hemodynamics, rather than treating either as a standalone gold standard. She also shared insight on common RHC pitfalls, and where imaging-guided assessment is headed.
