Abstract

Abstract: Pulmonary hypertension remains an important postcardiac surgical problem requiring prompt identification and management. In this edition of the Journal of Cardiac Surgery, Fayad and colleagues provide a detailed review of this topic, including epidemiology, mechanistic underpinnings, and available treatment options. In addition to responding to postoperative pulmonary hypertension, however, proactive measures including optimal timing of intervention are paramount to preventing the development of pulmonary hypertension and its associated complications.
