Non-invasive assessment of pulmonary vascular resistance in pulmonary hypertension: Current knowledge and future direction [PDF]
, 2017 Pulmonary Hypertension (PHT) is relatively common, dangerous and under-recognised. Pulmonary hypertension is not a diagnosis in itself; it is caused by a number of differing diseases each with different treatments and prognoses.
