Tuberculosis Edited by Christoph Lange and Giovanni Battista Migliori RESPIRA N U M B E R 5 8 / D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 2 Pulmonary hypertension plays an increasingly important role in contemporary medicine. It may present as discrete disease or as a complication of a broad spectrum of other conditions, such as connective tissue disease, congenital heart disease, liver disease, lung disease or left heart disease.
