Pulmonary hypertension in bronchopulmonary dysplasia: Clinical findings, cardiovascular anomalies and outcomes

Abstract

PH in BPD is not always a transient condition; it can be diagnosed at later stages and can have a protracted course. The incidence of associated CVAs is high. Prompt diagnosis, detection, and treatment of CVAs, and specific drug therapy can improve the outcome in these patients, although the mortality rate remains high.
