Overview

2018 ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Adults With Congenital Heart Disease (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class I
"1. Care of adult patients with CHD-related PAH should be performed in centers that have shared expertise and training in both ACHD and PAH. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"2. The evaluation of all ACHD patients with suspected PAH should include noninvasive assessment of cardiovascular anatomy and potential shunting, as detailed below:"
"a. Pulse oximetry, with and without administration of supplemental oxygen, as appropriate. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"b. Chest x-ray. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"c. ECG. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"d. Diagnostic cardiovascular imaging via TTE, TEE, MRI, or CT as appropriate. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"e. Complete blood count and nuclear lung scintigraphy. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"3. If PAH is identified but its causes are not fully recognized, additional testing should include the following:"
"a. Pulmonary function tests with volumes and diffusion capacity (diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide). (Level of Evidence: C)"
"b. Pulmonary embolism-protocol CT with parenchymal lung windows. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"c. Additional testing as appropriate to rule out contributing causes of PAH. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"d. Cardiac catheterization at least once, with potential for vasodilator testing or anatomic intervention, at a center with expertise in catheterization, PAH, and management of CHD-PAH. (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIa
"1. It is reasonable to include a 6-minute walk test or similar nonmaximal cardiopulmonary exercise test as part of the functional assessment of patients with CHD-PAH. (Level of Evidence: C)"
