Zusammenfassung: | This issue of the AJTCCM contains more welcome data on the problem of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in South Africa (SA). The paper in this issue by Dahim et al. describes the experience of the Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital and makes interesting comparisons with the data from Groote Schuur Hospital published in 2018. Retrospective data on 91 patients over an 8-year period are presented. This cohort excluded patients with type 2 PH, who were managed by cardiologists. |
