The 2015 European Guidelines on Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension are also valid for Germany. The guidelines contain detailed information about the clinical classification and diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension, and furthermore provide novel recommendations for risk stratification and follow-up assessments. However, the practical implementation of the European Guidelines in Germany requires the consideration of several country-specific issues and already existing novel data. This requires a detailed commentary to the guidelines, and in some aspects an update already appears necessary. In June 2016, a 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. This conference aimed to solve practical and controversial issues surrounding the implementation of the European Guidelines in Germany. To this end, a number of working groups was initiated, one of which was specifically dedicated to the clinical classification and initial diagnosis of PH. This article summarizes the results and recommendations of this working group.
《2015年欧洲肺动脉高压诊断与治疗指南》对德国同样适用。该指南包含有关肺动脉高压临床分类与诊断的详细信息，此外还针对风险分层及随访评估给出了新建议。然而，在德国实际实施欧洲指南需要考虑若干特定国家的问题以及已有的新数据。这就需要对该指南进行详细评注，而且在某些方面似乎有必要进行更新。2016年6月，由德国心脏病学会（DGK）、德国呼吸病学会（DGP）和德国儿科心脏病学会（DGPK）的肺动脉高压工作组在德国科隆组织召开了一次共识会议。本次会议旨在解决围绕在德国实施欧洲指南的实际及有争议的问题。为此，启动了若干工作组，其中一个专门致力于肺动脉高压的临床分类及初步诊断。本文总结了该工作组的结果及建议。
