Overview

Al-Hiti H. Definition, classification and incidence of pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary arterial hypertension leads to hypertrophy, dilatation of the right ventricle and ultimately to heart failure. Patients are still diagnosed in advanced stages of the disease, most often in NYHA classification III. and IV. stages. Untreated pulmonary arterial hypertension has a fatal impact on the fate of patients. The aim of this work is to introduce a new definition, classification, epidemiological data and treatment options.

Keywords:

Pulmonary hypertension – pulmonary arterial hypertension – treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension
