Abstract
A 25-year old man was admitted to hospital with
a 12-month history of progressive dyspnoea
and fatigue, with an acute deterioration over the
preceding 2 weeks. He denied any significant past
medical history, was a lifelong non-smoker and
had moved to Ireland from Brazil with his family
1 year prior. On presentation, he was hypoxic, with
peripheral oxygen saturations of 79% on room air
and tachycardic at 110 beats·min−1. Examination
revealed a loud pulmonary component of the second
heart sound, but was otherwise unremarkable,
as he was clinically euvolaemic, with clear lung
fields and there were no audible cardiac murmurs.
Chest radiograph demonstrated prominent hilar
vasculature.
