Abstract
Pulmonary vascular disease and pulmonary hypertension (PH) contributes significantly to the pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and clinical course of infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). This article briefly reviews the impact of premature birth on the developing lung circulation, mechanisms that contribute to the development of PH in premature newborns, and the diagnostic evaluation and management of severe PH in infants with BPD.
