Abstract
In patients with pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease or lung disease, treatment focuses on the underlying condition and there is no convincing evidence that agents approved for pulmonary arterial hypertension are effective. For patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, the treatment of choice is pulmonary endarterectomy. However, drugs intended specifically for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension may be considered in inoperable cases or after suboptimal surgery.
