Clinical Pulmonary Hypertension (Portland Press Research Monograph, 8)

By asking authorities in specialized research fields to focus on clinical aspects of pulmonary hypertension, this book aims to provide the mainstream clinician with an update on research as applied to the management and diagnosis of the syndrome. It describes the difficulties in recognizing the various syndromes by drawing together the pathology, diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension in all its forms, from a rare but fatal disease of young people, to the common chronic obstructive airways disease.
