Excerpt

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is defined as a mean PA pressure ≥25 mmHg at rest or 30 mmHg with exercise without left ventricular failure (left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) ≤15) [7]. Most patients present with symptoms of progressive exertional dyspnea, which may also include angina and syncopal episodes. If these patients are not treated, the disease will progress to right heart failure, with peripheral edema, ascites, and hepatomegaly. …
