[Pay attention to the impact of cardiopulmonary comorbidities on the management strategies of pulmonary arterial hypertension].

Abstract

With the increasing age of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) at diagnosis, multiple comorbidities are more and more common in these patients, especially cardiopulmonary diseases. This article introduces the incidence of PAH combined with cardiovascular disease and/or chronic lung disease, elaborates on the impact of cardiopulmonary comorbidities on the diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted drug treatment strategies of PAH, and proposes management recommendations for PAH patients with comorbidities, aiming to further improve the diagnosis and treatment level of pulmonary hypertension.
