Description
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease. The distinction between disease and normal
ageing and between Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and PAH may be more difficult. Many comorbidities could
lead to PH and make its diagnostic classification much more difficult and the identification of patients with a
true vascular disease even more challenging. Elderly PAH patients suffer from severe pulmonary vascular
disease with a poor survival rate and should be accurately diagnosed before introduction of PAH‐specific drug
therapy.
