TL;DR: In this paper, a change in terminology and a new definition of pulmonary hypertension due to LHD was proposed, and the authors suggest to abandon "out-of-proportion" PH and to distinguish "isolated post-capillary PH" from "post-CAPillary PH with a precapillary component" based on the pressure difference between diastolic pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary artery wedge pressure.

TL;DR: The "severe PH group" includes only a minority of chronic lung disease patients who are suspected of having strong general vascular abnormalities accompanying the parenchymal disease and with evidence of an exhausted circulatory reserve rather than an exhausted ventilatory reserve underlying the limitation of exercise capacity.

TL;DR: SVI and right atrial pressure were the hemodynamic variables that were independently associated with death or lung transplantation at first follow-up RHC after initial PAH treatment, suggesting that the SVI could be a more appropriate treatment target than cardiac index in PAH.

TL;DR: Effective implementation of palliative care for ILD will require multidisciplinary participation from clinicians, specialist nurses, psychologists, social workers, and, in some countries, non-governmental faith and community-based organisations with access to palliatives care expertise.

TL;DR: It is concluded that alterations in secretion of IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α may be related to the good clinical effect of HBO treatment in CD patients with perianal disease.
