Abstract

Pulmonary Hypertension is a haemodynamic and pathophysiological condition that has diverse clinical presentation and variable prognosis. There are currently five categories of pulmonary hypertension. Here we present series of pulmonary hypertension cases with varied etiology.Evaluation includes series of investigations to confirm the diagnosis and specify the etiology. It is imperative to make correct diagnosis as target therapy with phosphodiesterase inhibitors and endothelin-1 receptor antagonists effectively controls the disease progression in certain groups of patients.
