Rame JE - The aim of disease management in this patient population should be to prevent or improve right heart failure. Current therapies that modify the progression of pulmonary vascular disease, including endothelin-1 receptor antagonists, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, and prostanoids, should be considered carefully in patients with congenital heart disease-associated pulmonary hypertension. The risks and benefits of altering the balance of pulmonary vascular resistance to systemic vascular resistance must be weighed for each patient.
