2020 Chinese expert-based consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of connective tissue disease associated pulmonary arterial hypertension

Abstract: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe complication of connective tissue disease (CTD) and is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among patients with this condition. To establish an expert-based consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of CTD-associated PAH, a multidisciplinary consensus development panel was established. The consensus panel is composed of 45 experts in rheumatology, cardiology, pulmonology, and radiology, most of whom are members of the Group of Pulmonary Vascular and Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD) Associated with Rheumatic Diseases. The consensus development panel compiled 9 recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of CTD-associated PAH. It covers screening, diagnosis, disease evaluation, risk assessment, the use of immunosuppressive agents, and PAH-specific therapy with a treat-to-target approach. The consensus is intended to facilitate decision-making and standardize the care of CTD-associated PAH in China.
