Sounds to me like you would need at least two separate care team members: a true PH specialist at a PH Clinic plus a general cardiologist, each "owning" their respective parts but coordinating with each other and sharing information. You might also need a third team member: a general pulmonologist,

I have a PH Specialist, a cardiologist, and a pulmonologist and they all share information. each is responsible for different maladies that I have and surprisingly there is almost no redundancy.

Managing severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with tricuspid valve regurgitation can be complex and may require a coordinated approach from both a pulmonologist and a cardiologist. Here are some steps to consider:

- Seek a Multidisciplinary Team: Look for a healthcare facility that offers a multidisciplinary team approach, including both pulmonologists and cardiologists who specialize in PAH.
- Regular Follow-ups: Ensure regular follow-ups with your cardiac care team to monitor and manage both conditions effectively.
- Consider Specialist Centers: If local specialists are not providing comprehensive care, consider seeking treatment at a specialized center for PAH and heart valve diseases.
- Medication Management: Discuss with your doctors about medications like beta-blockers and diuretics to reduce heart strain and manage symptoms.
- Surgical Options: If tricuspid regurgitation is severe, surgical intervention such as valve repair or replacement might be necessary.

Our local pulmonologist and cardiologist seem to not have any answers regarding her conditions and are bouncing her back and forth between themselves and scheduling 6 month followups. I have in the last month been able to get her an appointment with a Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic at USA Medical Center for Jan 13th to see if they could provide some answers.
