ABSTRACT: We describe the case of a 30-year-old female patient with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension that has an excellent functional capacity under treatment with sildenafil.

This information was used for clinical decision and the authors discuss the potential utility of this echocardiographyc sign.
