Abstract

The cohort of patients with postcapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH), associated with the left heart diseases, is the most numerous, but is still not fully understood. This review presents the pathophysiological aspects of the PH group 2 development as well as the influence of comorbid pathology on the course of the PH. The features of the differential diagnosis of post-capillary PH and combined post-/ precapillary PH, as well as methods of the differential diagnosis of these forms of PH with pulmonary arterial hypertension using modern non-invasive and invasive approaches are discussed.
