Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by elevated pressure in the pulmonary artery (over 20 mmHg) and is categorized into five groups based on similar causes and treatment approaches.
- Radiologists are crucial in the assessment and management of PH, working alongside other specialists to provide comprehensive care.
- A working group from the Fleischner Society focused on imaging techniques like CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine to determine their effectiveness in diagnosing PH, understanding its causes, assessing severity, and planning treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by a mean pulmonary artery pressure exceeding 20 mm Hg and is divided into five groups based on similar mechanisms and treatment approaches.
- A specialized working group within the Fleischner Society is investigating the role of imaging techniques like CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine in diagnosing and managing PH, focusing on questions about noninvasive imaging, identifying causes, assessing severity, and planning treatment.
- This systematic review emphasizes the critical function of imaging in identifying, evaluating, and following up on patients with PH, with the same content published jointly in two different journals.

Registries have provided a wealth of information on the clinical and disease characteristics of patients living with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) since the 1980s. Certain PAH demographics, such as the prevalence of various PAH subgroups and preponderance of female patients, appear to have remained stable over time. Contemporary registry data indicate that the average age of patients diagnosed with PAH has increased, at least in the Western world.
