Algorithm for who should undergo transthoracic echocardiogram to evaluate for SAPH. 6MWD: 6-min walk distance; BNP: B-type natriuretic peptide; BSA: body surface area; CT: computed tomography; DLCO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; ECG: electrocardiogram; FVC: forced vital capacity; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; NT-proBNP: N-terminal (NT)-pro hormone BNP; NYHA-FC: New York Heart Association functional class; PFT: pulmonary function test; PH: pulmonary hypertension; RV: right ventricle; SAPH: sarcoidosis-associated pulmonary hypertension. #: Transthoracic echocardiogram recommended to assess for SAPH and left ventricular dysfunction. : May be more accurate if corrected for BSA.
