Abstract:
Pulmonary hypertension in pregnancy has been associated with negative maternal and fetal outcomes over the past decades. With the emergence of novel treatment modalities, morbidity and mortality of women who have pulmonary hypertension in pregnancy have improved. In this review, we aim to explore the contemporary updates in the management of pre-capillary and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension in pregnancy.
