Advances in Pulmonary Hypertension, Vol. 14, No. 2

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a relatively common complication of left-heart disease and represents a challenging clinical situation for providers and patients alike. The aging demographic in the United States and widespread use of echocardiography in these patients often results in a consult to evaluate the PH. Unfortunately, proven treatment options are limited. Regardless, there is a critical need for PH experts to have a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology, clinical presentations and most appropriate management recommendations. The current issue offers the opportunity to review all of those issues in detail.
