ABSTRACT
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a complex condition with a poor prognosis. It is defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 25 mmHg and a pulmonary wedge pressure less than 15 mmHg. The prevalence worldwide is of 15 cases per million people; in Mexico the prevalence is unknown. The classification of the 4th Symposium of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension held in Dana Point, California, is currently used. The idiopathic and familiar forms correspond to 40% of the etiology; the remaining 60% corresponds to patients with comorbidities. The multifactorial interaction generates endothelial dysfunction in pulmonary arteries of small caliber, altered vasodilator and vasoconstrictor substances, platelet aggregation tendency with risk of thrombosis in situ, vascular remodeling, and progressively increased pulmonary vascular resistance. As a result, right ventricular afterload increases, resulting in heart failure. In clinical suspicion of PAH, an echocardiography should be performed, and diagnosis must be done with right catheterization. Assessing the severity and determining the functional class of the World Heath Organization will determine its treatment.
