Similar to other causes of PAH, PoPH is characterised by a progressive structural and functional remodelling of small pulmonary arteries leading to pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension defined by a mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) ≥25 mmHg, normal pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ≤15 mmHg and raised pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) >3 Wood Units (WU) [1]. PoPH negatively impacts survival of patients with portal hypertension. Early detection of PoPH is of particular importance because it is treatable with PAH drugs and basic therapies such as diuretics [1, 3].Pulmonary vascular resistance between 2 and 3 Wood Units in patients with portal hypertension and pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension could characterise early portopulmonary hypertension with clinical consequences https://bit.ly/3PEFe79We thank all physicians from the French Pulmonary Hypertension Network (PulmoTension).
