Abstract

Ao longo dos últimos cinco anos, o conhecimento na área de hipertensão pulmonar evoluiu de forma consistente e significativa. Novos algoritmos diagnósticos e de tratamento foram desenvolvidos com base no resultado de diversos estudos clínicos que evidenciaram a utilidade de novas ferramentas, assim como a eficácia de novos medicamentos e de combinações. Da mesma forma, a classificação da hipertensão pulmonar evoluiu, na tentativa de agrupar as diferentes formas de hipertensão pulmonar que apresentam abordagens diagnósticas e terapêuticas semelhantes a fim de facilitar a condução clínica dos pacientes. Esta revisão visa discutir cada uma dessas modificações, tendo por base as diretrizes brasileiras para manejo da hipertensão pulmonar de 2005, ressaltando aquilo que foi acrescentado às diretrizes internacionais.<br>Over the last five years, knowledge in the field of pulmonary hypertension has grown consistently and significantly. On the basis of various clinical studies showing the usefulness of new diagnostic tools, as well as the efficacy of new medications and drug combinations, new diagnostic and treatment algorithms have been developed. Likewise, in order to simplify the clinical management of patients, the classification of pulmonary hypertension has been changed in an attempt to group the various forms of pulmonary hypertension in which the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are similar. The objective of this review was to discuss these modifications, based on the 2005 Brazilian guidelines for the management of pulmonary hypertension, emphasizing what has been added to the international guidelines.
