Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Associated with Congenital Heart Disease at High Altitude
The incidence of pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease is notably higher at high altitude compared to plain areas,and its progression is characterized by rapid development.Furthermore,the clinical features and outcomes of the disease at high altitude differ from those in plain areas.However,there is a scarcity of studies addressing these distinctions.This article seeks to review the epidemiology,pathogenesis,treatment measures and other aspects of pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease at high altitude,with the goal of contributing valuable insights that can inform and guide future clinical research in this specialized field.
