Abstract

A 32-year-old female with World Health Organization (WHO) group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), presented to the hospital with right lower lobe pneumonia. Her echocardiogram demonstrated severe PAH with a pulmonary artery (PA) systolic pressure of 110 mmHg, an enlarged right ventricle with reduced function, a patent foramen ovale (PFO) with left to right shunt, and mild mitral regurgitation.
