Pulmonary Hypertension: Symptoms, Diagnosis and Management

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is focused on the most recent data covering the various aspects of pulmonary hypertension, including clinical presentation, diagnosis confirmation, and management. Multiple etiologies cause elevated blood pressure in pulmonary arteries. Although several approved and recently introduced treatment possibilities exist, including the medications mostly for Group I (pulmonary arterial hypertension) and Group IV (pulmonary hypertension associated with pulmonary artery obstructions), the prognosis is poor. After the closure of small pulmonary arteries, the patients die due to the progressing failure of the right ventricle. There is an unmet need for a better understanding of this pathology for better management and patient care.

The aim and scope of this Special Issue are to help and encourage scientists working in this area to publish their data.
