Zusammenfassung
Die 2009 veröffentlichen Europäischen Leitlinien zur
Diagnostik und Therapie der pulmonalen Hypertonie (PH) sind nunmehr
auch in Deutschland gültig. Während sich die Leitlinien
eingehend mit der pulmonal arteriellen Hypertonie (PAH) befassen,
wird die häufig vorkommende PH infolge von Linksherzerkrankungen
nur relativ kurz behandelt. Aktuell lässt sich in zunehmendem
Maße ein unkritischer Einsatz gezielter PAH-Medikamente
bei Patienten mit PH infolge von Linksherzerkrankungen beobachten,
obwohl keine entsprechenden Wirksamkeitsdaten vorliegen. Diese Entwicklung
gibt Anlass zur Sorge. Andererseits ist die PH bei Patienten mit
Linksherzinsuffizienz ein häufiges Problem welches für
die Morbidität und Prognose der Patienten bedeutsam ist,
so dass sich bei ausgewählten Patienten die Frage nach
einer gezielten Behandlung der PH stellt. Diesbezüglich
sind für die praktische Umsetzung der Europäischen
Leitlinien in Deutschland zahlreiche spezifische Gesichtspunkte
und bereits wieder neue Daten bedeutsam, die eine ausführliche
Kommentierung der Leitlinien und in einigen Punkten eine Aktualisierung
notwendig machen. Im Juni 2010 fand in Köln eine Konsensuskonferenz
statt, die von den Arbeitsgruppen PH der Deutschen Gesellschaften
für Kardiologie (DGK), Pneumologie (DGP) und Pädiatrische
Kardiologie (DGPK) organisiert wurde. Die Konferenz befasste sich
mit der Umsetzung der Europäischen Leitlinien in Deutschland.
Dazu wurden verschiedene Arbeitsgruppen eingesetzt, von denen sich
eine gezielt der PH bei Linksherzerkrankungen widmete. Die Ergebnisse
und Empfehlungen dieser Arbeitsgruppe werden in dem vorliegenden
Manuskript detailliert beschrieben.
Abstract
The 2009 European Guidelines on Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary
Hypertension have been adopted for Germany. While the guidelines contain
detailed recommendations regarding pulmonary arterial hypertension
(PAH), they contain only a relatively short paragraph on other,
much more frequent forms of PH such as PH due to left heart disease.
Despite the lack of data, targeted PAH treatments are increasingly being
used for PH associated with left heart disease. This development
is of concern. On the other hand, PH is a frequent problem that
is highly relevant for morbidity and mortality in patients with
left heart disease, so that it may be speculated whether selected
patients may benefit from targeted PH therapy. It that sense, the practical
implementation of the European Guidelines in Germany requires the
consideration of several 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 2010,
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 PH due to
left heart disease. This commentary summarizes the results and recommendations
of this working group.
