Abstract

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a progressive, symptomatic, and ultimately fatal disorder for which substantial advances in treatment have been made during the past decade. This article reviews the recent advances in the field of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Epidemiology, genetics, treatment and prognosis will be the main focus of this update.
