Summary

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is one of the most severe complication in congenital heart disease. As a consequence of demographic changes in adult congenital population, there is a trend toward less simple shunts and more complex lesions associated to PAH. PAH has prognostic significance, and increases mortality/morbidity in congenital patients. The entire spectrum of PAH specific therapy is available, and it has been shown that is effective in improving the prognosis in these patients.
