Isolated aortic stenosis-development of pulmonary hypertension in childhood

Pulmonary hypertension is uncommon in children with isolat-ed congenital aortic stenosis, and even when present is usually mild. It is primarily due to transmission of the elevated left ventricular end-diastolic pressure through the pulmonary capil-lary circulation and may be then further elevated b...
