The secondary role of pathology in the present clinical management of pulmonary
hypertension (PH) reflects to some extent the limitations of the current understanding of the
disease. Ample room exists for the diagnostic translation of the pathobiologic studies, with
the goal of improving the diagnostic and prognostic power of the pathologic assessment of
pulmonary vascular remodeling. This article seeks to show the complementarities of the
pathology and pathobiology of PH.
