Abstract

In the summer of 2016, delegates fromthe German Respiratory Society (DGP), the German Society of Cardiology (DGK) and the German Society of Pediatric Cardiology (DGPK) met in Cologne, Germany, to define consensusbased practice recommendations for the management of patientswith pulmonary hypertension (PH). These recommendations were built on the 2015 European Pulmonary Hypertension guidelines, aiming at their practical implementation, considering country-specific issues, and including new evidence, where available. To this end, a number of working groups was initiated, one of which was specifically dedicated to PH in adults associated with congenital heart disease (CHD). As such patients are often complex and require special attention, and the general PAH treatment algorithm in the ESC/ ERS guidelines appears too unspecific for CHD, the working group proposes an analogous algorithm for the management of PH-CHDwhich takes the special features of this patient group into consideration, and includes generalmeasures, supportive therapy, targeted PAH drug therapy as well as interventional and surgical procedures. The detailed results and recommendations of theworking group on PH in adults with CHD, which were last updated in the spring of 2018, are summarized in this article. (c) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
