A Current Approach to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Idiopathic Pulmo-nary Hypertension.

Idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (IPH) is a rare but severe disease characterized by increased pressure in the pulmonary artery without an obvious cause or in connection with other known diseases. This form of hypertension be-longs to group 1 of pulmonary hypertension according to the classification of the World Organization on Pulmonary Hypertension (WHO) and is characterized by a severe clinical picture, progressive course and high mortality rate. The relevance of studying IPH is determined by the need for early diagnosis and the de-velopment of effective treatment methods, since this disease significantly worsens the quality of life of patients and leads to complications from the cardiovascular system.
