Discussing controversies and concepts in PH diagnosis and management, this guide explores:
- classification and epidemiology, pathology, pathogenesis, genetics, and diagnosis of PH
- causes of the condition, such as idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH)
- PAH-complicating connective tissue diseases (CTD), congenital heart diseases, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and other disorders
- the mechanisms, toxicities, and efficacy of therapeutic agents
- the role of combination therapies, novel agents, and future directions
- PH in specific patient populations such as pregnant and critically-ill patients in the ICU
