The article by McGoon & Kane (2009) explores the pathobiologic mechanisms of

pulmonary hypertension such as genetics and cellular and molecular mechanisms. The article

also covers the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension and its clinical manifestations. Approaches

to treatment of the disorder such as prevention, screening high-risk individuals, therapy

optimization for associated diseases, supportive treatment, vascular-targeted intervention and

surgical intervention are also explored. McGoon & Kane (2009) also discuss the types of

vascular-targeted treatments including calcium channel blockers, prostacyclin analogues,

phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors and endothelin receptor antagonists. Issues that may make it hard

to manage pulmonary hypertension patients are also discussed. Some of them include angina,

pregnancy, syncope and exercise.
