Chinese Expert Consensus on Preconception, Prenatal, and Postpartum Management of Women with Pulmonary Hypertension (2025 Edition)
Abstract：Pulmonary hypertension (PH) refers to a clinical and pathophysiological syndrome caused by various heterogeneous diseases (etiology) and different pathogenic mechanisms, leading to changes in pulmonary vascular structure and/or function, resulting in elevated pulmonary artery pressure and resistance, right ventricular enlargement, and eventually right heart failure or even death [1-2]. The latest diagnostic guidelines both domestically and internationally have updated the diagnostic criteria for PH to a mean pulmonary artery pressure >20 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) under sea level and resting conditions, as measured by right heart catheterization [1-2].
