Outcomes of pregnancy with pulmonary hypertension: low risk or a false dawn?

In this cohort, more than 75% of the cases were pregnancies in patients with WHO group II PH. [...]this study serves as an important addition to the literature. [...]most reported studies (including this one) have been done in centres with multidisciplinary teams (PH specialist, cardiothoracic surgery and anaesthesiologists and obstetricians who specialise in high-risk pregnancies) and advanced therapeutics, which may not be the norm in most of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where many patients with PH may reside. [...]many young women with PH or PAH who deliver babies undergo precipitous decline in the postpartum period and die without extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or lung transplantation, which may not be readily available in SSA.
