Pulmonary arterial hypertension: pathogenesis and clinical management.
TL;DR: Patients with PAH have dyspnea, reduced exercise capacity, exertional syncope, and premature death from right ventricular failure, and targeted therapies, used alone or in combination, improve functional capacity and hemodynamics and reduce hospital admissions.

TL;DR: Echocardiography is valuable in assessing prognosis and treatment options, monitoring the efficacy of specific therapeutic interventions, and detecting the preclinical stages of disease.

Pulmonary Hypertension Due to Left Heart Disease
Marco Guazzi,Barry A. Borlaug +1 more
TL;DR: In this review, epidemiology, mechanisms, diagnostic approaches, hemodynamic models, and clinical trials of heart failure complicated by group 2 PH are reviewed, along with a discussion of novel treatment strategies that are currently under investigation or hold promise for the future.
