Summary

The mechanism and pattern of pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary vascular disease has been compared in pulmonary embolism and in chronic obliterative pulmonary hypertension due to other causes, in left-sided heart disease, in association with left to right intracardiac shunt and in chronic lung disease.
