Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a fatal disease. If untreated, the median survival is 2.8 years. [1] The disease is clinically characterized by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) secondary to continuous obliteration of pulmonary arteries by a proliferative process involving all pulmonary vascular layers.
