[Pulmonary Hypertension: Cologne Consensus Conference 2016].
Recently, the updated European Guidelines on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) have been published. The practical implementation of the guidelines considering country-specific aspects, current data and individual features is essential for clinical patient care. In order to accomplish this, in June 2016 the 2ndCologne Consensus Conference organized by the PH working groups of the German Society of Cardiology (DGK), the German Society of Respiratory Medicine (DGP) and the German Society of Pediatric Cardiology (DGPK) was held in Cologne, Germany. To this end, 10 working groups were initiated, each of which was dedicated to one specific topic. This article summarizes some of the results that were obtained by interdisciplinary consensus.
