|
|
Neonatal pulmonary hypertension is associated with meconium aspiration syndrome, sepsis, asphyxia, respiratory distress syndrome, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, congenital heart disease, or bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Newborns with pulmonary hypertension are at risk of death, chronic lung disease, neurodevelopmental disability, and other complications. Because of the diverse pathophysiology of the underlying disease, the diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic approach are important. This article will review the pathophysiologic background and the current therapeutic options for neonatal pulmonary hypertension.
