Abstract

For many years treatment of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) remained unchanged. Recently, due to new drugs and increase number of controlled studies, the situation has changed considerably for the better. In this article we summarized new data on treatment of PH adapted from the updated recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) 2015 and studies of last years.
