Updated guidelines on the diagnosis and management of acute PE in adult patients.

2019. Exercise training and rehabilitation in severe chronic pulmonary hypertension (ERS)

Pulmonary hypertension (PH), defined as invasively measured mean pulmonary artery pressure ≥25 mmHg, occurs in many different diseases. The focus of this task force was mainly on patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). This summaries the current state of knowledge and open questions regarding the clinical effects of exercise training, training modalities and mechanisms of action in patients with PH.

Health disparities have a major impact in the quality of life and clinical care received by minorities in the United States. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare cardiopulmonary disorder that affects children and adults and that, if untreated, results in premature death.

2015. Diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension (ESC/ERS)
