What is Critical Care Management of the Patient with Pulmonary Hypertension about?

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common diagnosis in patients admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit with a wide range of underlying causes. A detailed evaluation to identify all factors contributing to the elevated pulmonary artery pressure and provide an assessment of right ventricular haemodynamics and function is needed to guide treatment and identify patients at highest risk for poor outcomes. While in many patients management of underlying and triggering medical problems with careful monitoring is appropriate, a subset of patients may benefit from specialized treatments targeting the pulmonary circulation and support of the right ventricle. In such cases, collaboration with or transfer to a centre with special expertise in the management of PH may be warranted.
