Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension is a serious disease with a poor prognosis.

Different conditions associated with pulmonary hypertension and new diagnostic techniques have led to a need for a systematic diagnostic approach. This review article presents an update on alterations in the diagnostic algorithm.
