【 摘 要 】

WHO Group 2 pulmonary hypertension (PH) denotes PH caused by left heart disease, which includes systolic dysfunction, diastolic dysfunction, and valvular heart disease, and is one of the most common causes of PH. Up to 60% of patients with advanced systolic dysfunction and up to 70% of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction may develop PH.1 The development of PH in patients with left heart disease is associated with a poor prognosis.2 In these patients, fluid volume overload is a common cause of worsening symptoms. Strict control of fluid volume balance using diuretics and a low sodium diet is a critical component of care for patients with WHO Group 2 PH.
