Abstract
Introduction Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a heterogeneous and progressive disease characterised by elevated pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance as well as subsequent impairment of right ventricular function and asynchrony of the right and left ventricle. PAH is still a life threatening condition with poor outcome, at the same time rarely diagnosed in an early stage due to its unspecific symptoms and complex to follow up.
