两例不明原因的严重肺动脉高压出现在老年组。虽然归类为原发性肺动脉高压，但由于患者的年龄和病程较长，其临床病程非常不寻常。长时间的随访可以评估在老年人群中明确诊断原发性肺动脉高压的困难和特别有用的非侵入性方法。在老年人群中诊断原发性肺动脉高压很重要，因为现在有药物可以改善肺动脉高压的严重程度。
Two cases of unexplained severe pulmonary hypertension were seen in the older age group. Although classified as primary pulmonary hypertension, the clinical course of these patients was very unusual because of their age and relatively long duration of diseases. The long period of follow-up allowed assessment of both the difficulties of making a definite diagnosis of primary pulmonary hypertension in the older age group and the noninvasive methods which were particularly helpful. Making the diagnosis of primary pulmonary hypertension in the older age group is important because there are now drugs which can ameliorate the severity of pulmonary hypertension.
