AHA/ATS: New Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Guideline

The American Heart Association (AHA) and American Thoracic Society (ATS) have issued new guidelines pertaining to Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension. The revisions come as a result of collaboration between the agencies and were developed in a joint effort by an interdisciplinary team of 27 experienced clinicians and clinician-scientists in a review of the current literature in which they analyzed data from more than 600 studies and made recommendations on diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of pediatric pulmonary hypertension.
