Evaluation of Dyspnea
Dyspnea and dyspnea on exertion are among the most common patient complaints both in the office and in the hospital setting. While in-hospital evaluations tend to have a more acute focus, outpatient office evaluations of dyspnea tend to be more varied and nuanced in their etiology. Pulmonary function testing and cardiopulmonary exercise testing are important modalities to help differentiate causes of dyspnea.

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) and Associated Pulmonary Hypertension
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a commonly encountered disease state. Patients who develop ILD associated with pulmonary hypertension have an increased mortality risk. This program aims to review the classification of commonly encountered interstitial lung diseases. Secondly, to describe the pathophysiology that leads to the development of ILD associated pulmonary hypertension. Lastly, to review a diagnostic approach to ILD associated pulmonary hypertension along with treatment options.

Pleural Effusions and Pleural Disease
Pleural disease is a common but frequently misunderstood clinical entity within the field of pulmonary disease. While up to 30% of individuals assessed may have pleural effusions, the specific diagnostic and therapeutic modalities undertaken have significant downstream implications for the diagnostic yield of studies, potential complication profile, and in the setting of therapeutic procedures, the extent to which these can either help to facilitate overall treatment or to reduce symptom burden in the case of palliative-type procedures such as tunneled pleural catheters or chemical pleurodesis for malignant pleural effusions.
