Abstract

In recent years, pulmonary hypertension (PH) has attracted increasing attention from scholars worldwide, which involves diverse etiology and complicated pathogenesis. Due to changes in the structure and function of pulmonary vasculatures, it can lead to an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary artery pressure, and then progress to right ventricular heart failure or even death. The diagnosis of PH involves multiple disciplines, which could easily give rise to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis and non-standardized treatment. Recently, we have made great progress in the field of clinical diagnosis, treatment and research of PH. However, many issues remain to be solved. Accordingly, this article aims to call for further strengthening of multidisciplinary collaboration in PH field and promote the construction of a standardized system for PH in China.
