Abstract

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a heterogeneous disorder that encompasses multiple different etiologies with complex pathobiology. The current classification of PH is based primarily on clinical characteristics and hemodynamics. Accurate characterization of PH using advanced hemodynamic analyses, exercise testing, improved imaging techniques, and innovative biomarkers provide the opportunity to define novel phenotypes. These approaches are paving the way to a personalized medicine approach in the evaluation and management of patients with PH.
