Abstract：As the improvement of scanning methods,the detection rate of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) associated pulmonary hypertension (PH) has been significantly increased.Examination methods,such as polysomnography (PSG),arterial blood gases analysis and echocardiography,right heart catheterization (RHC) has exerted great efforts on screening and diagnosis of OSA associated PH.The effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been widely recognized while it still needs further study whether patients with OSA and PH may benefit from specific PH therapy.
