Abstract
The goals of treatment of cor pulmonale are 1) to reduce pulmonary arterial hypertension; 2) to optimize gas-exchange efficiency; and 3) to improve survival. These goals are achieved through long-term oxygen therapy, bronchodilator and vasodilator therapy, aggressive treatment of pulmonary infection, and anticoagulation. Selected patients may benefit from available surgical options.
