Overview

In 1891, a German physician Ernst von Romberg described pulmonary vascular sclerosis in an autopsy. In 1951 David Dresdale coined the term primary pulmonary hypertension for the first time. In 1951, David Dresdale coined the term primary pulmonary hypertension for the first time. In 1981, pulmonary hypertension registry landmark multi-center U.S. study characterizing natural history and clinical features of primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH).

Historical Perspective

  • The historical perspective of the PH is as follows:[1][2]
    • In 1891, a German physician Ernst von Romberg described pulmonary vascular sclerosis in an autopsy.
    • In 1901, Abel Ayerza Key lecture integrating cyanosis and right heart failure, named the condition as cardiac negro - black heart.
    • In 1913, F. C. Arrillaga, assigned syphilitic arteriosclerosis as etiology of PH; changed the name of disease to Ayerza’s Disease.
    • In 1929, Werner Forssman demonstrated that it was possible to perform right sided catheterization in humans by performing catheterization on himself.
    • In 1951, David Dresdale coined the term primary pulmonary hypertension for the first time.
    • In 1956, Forssman, Cournand, and Richards were awarded the Nobel Prize for their contributions to the discovery of circulatory and cardiopulmonary systems.
    • In 1958, Paul Wood published pulmonary hypertension with an association with a vasoconstrictive factor.
    • During 1965–1970s, first pulmonary hypertension epidemic related to the approval of Aminorex.
    • In 1973, 1st WHO Meeting on pulmonary hypertension the landmark meeting about pulmonary hypertension, provided recommendations for future directions.
    • In 1981, pulmonary hypertension registry landmark multi-center U.S. study characterizing natural history and clinical features of primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH).
    • In 1998, 2nd World Symposium on pulmonary hypertension, formation of Evian Classification of pulmonary hypertension and the term pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) was coined.
    • In 2003, 3rd World Symposium on pulmonary hypertension, formation of Venice Classification; idiopathic PAH introduced to replace term PPH.
    • In 2008, 4th World Symposium on pulmonary hypertension, formation of Dana Point Classification; modification of genetic category, among others in Group 1.
    • In 2013, 5th World Symposium on pulmonary hypertension, formation of Nice Classification; further modifications of genetic category, among others in Group 1.
    • In 2014, International Right Heart Failure Foundation - comprehensive nomenclature of RHF (right heart failure) defining distinction between right heart failure vs right ventricular failure vs components of right heart system, and the definition of right heart failure.
