Inthis study we evaluated the diagnostic tools available to detemine the primary pulmonary hypertension. In the report we describe the clinical features, laboratory findings, thoracic radiography and connected determinations. These determinations include: electrocardiogram. echocardiopraphy, lung scan, computed tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, pulmonary angiographic evaluation, right cardiac catheterism, cardio-pulmonary excercise testing (aerosolized nitric oxide and iloprost) angioscopy and lung biopsy. All these procedures were evaluated and the respective evaluation is commented in the article

This study aimed to analyze the pharmacological management of primary pulmonary arterial hypertension (PPH). PPH has been considered during a long time, an incurable disease...The purpose of this report is to present an evaluation fo these new pharmacological tools and approaches more suitables for widespread application in the future
