Favors fluid and afterload optimization over PH-specific agents in PH-LVDD; leaves open their role pending randomized trials.
PH-LVDD management should focus on fluid and afterload optimization, as PH-specific therapies currently lack evidence of clinical benefit outside of trials.
Pérez et al. (2012) conducted a review in Pulmonary hypertension associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction requires right heart catheterization, and management centers on fluid optimization and afterload reduction.
