2022 ESC/ERS Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension

🤖 Plain-English Summary

Guidelines summarize and evaluate available evidence, with the aim of assisting health professionals in proposing the best management strategies for an individual patient with a given condition. These decisions are made in consultation with the patient and caregiver as appropriate.

🔑 Key Findings

• Guidelines and their recommendations should facilitate decision-making of health professionals in their daily practice.
• However, guidelines are not a substitute for the patient's relationship with their practitioner.
• The final decisions concerning an individual patient must be made by the responsible health professional(s), based on what they consider to be the most appropriate in the circumstances.
