Pulmonary hypertension is a common hemodynamic complication of heart failure. Interest in
left-sided pulmonary hypertension has increased remarkably in recent years because its …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to left heart disease, classified as group 2 according to
the Dana Point 2008 classification, is believed to be the most common cause of PH and is …

Rationale: Patients with pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease (PH-LHD) and a
diastolic pulmonary vascular pressure gradient≥ 7 mm Hg, representing PH out of …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH), previously defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure of
greater than 25 mm Hg, has recently been redefined by the Sixth World Symposium on …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a feature of a variety of diseases and continues to harbor
high morbidity and mortality. The main consequence of PH is right-sided heart failure which …

Survival in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is closely related to right
ventricular (RV) function. Although pulmonary load is an important determinant of RV …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) with left-sided heart disease is defined, according to the latest
Venice classification, as a Group 2 PH, which includes left-sided ventricular or atrial disease …

The function of the right ventricle determines the fate of patients with pulmonary
hypertension. Since right heart failure is the consequence of increased afterload, a full …

Although changes in the pulmonary vasculature are the primary cause of pulmonary arterial
hypertension (PAH), severity of symptoms and survival are strongly associated with right …

Pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease is the most common form of
pulmonary hypertension encountered in clinical practice today. Although frequently a target …
