Abstract

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a disorder involving a heterogeneous group of medical conditions encompassing several cardiopulmonary illnesses. Implementing new diagnostic criteria for PH in conjunction with multimodality diagnostic tools is crucial for accurate and early recognition of this life-threatening form of right heart failure. This should streamline early referrals to accredited PH centers, with a goal to rapidly institute targeted therapy in order to optimize prognosis.
