Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a complex disorder that should be managed with a multidisciplinary approach. Although most of the underlying causes of left heart disease can be easily diagnosed with cardiac imaging, some pathologies might necessitate careful investigation to go beyond the obvious. High-output heart failure (HF) due to arteriovenous malformation (AVMs) is an unnoticeable cause for HF and PH. Patients with hepatic AVMs should always be carefully evaluated with regard to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) since they can have multiple signs related to the other systems without any symptoms. In this case report, we discussed a patient who was initially diagnosed as PH associated with HF with preserved ejection fraction but eventually was found to have PH associated with high-output HF due to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT, or Osler Weber Rendu syndrome) after detailed evaluation.
