Pulmonary hypertension represents a significant complication of sarcoidosis, affecting both prognosis and quality of life for those afflicted. In sarcoidosis, PH often arises from pulmonary vascular involvement, characterized by vasoconstriction, vascular remodeling, and thrombotic events within the pulmonary circulation.

By unraveling these complexities, we aim to enhance awareness, early detection, and management strategies to optimize outcomes for patients facing this challenging manifestation of sarcoidosis.
