[Advances in pulmonary hypertension diagnosis and risk stratification].

Abstract

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common clinical condition linked to chronic cardiopulmonary illnesses. It must be distinguished from pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a rare disease characterized by a specific involvement of the pulmonary arterial bed. An early diagnosis and accurate classification by a multidisciplinary team are necessary for a multimodal and individualized therapy approach. This article aims to provide a summary of the most recent ESC/ERS recommendations published in 2022.
