• ARNI/ACEi/ARB • Sildenafil:
• Beta Blocker • Improve hemodynamic and exercise
• MRA capacity in small studies, no RCTs.
• SGLT2i • SilHF study: sildenafil did not improve
symptoms, QoL, exercise capacity in
patients with HFrEF and PH.
• May be added for patients with CpcPH
(mixed pre-post capillary PH)

SUMMARY
Patients with PH-LHD (PH Group 2) have clinical symptoms and
signs of HF and PH.
The diagnosis needs to be confirmed with echocardiography (and
RHC in selected cases).
Treat the underlying LHD.
PAH therapy has conflicting evidence for its impact on PH in LHD.
PDE5i is only recommended in patients with mixed pre- & post-
capillary PH.
