The chronic pulmonary cardiopathy constitutes a frequent complication of the chronic neumonopathies and it is fundamentally a consequence of the chronic obstructive breathing diseases. The treatment of this affection is aimed at diminishing the lung hypertension and congestion, as well as preventing the occurrence of embolic processes, frequent in those who suffered from it. In spite of the numerous advances of the medical sciences, it is difficult to establish a therapy to control the lung hypertension. An up-to-date information about the treatment of the chronic pulmonary cardiopathy, valid for all health professionals interested in the topic is provided.

Keywords : chronic pulmonary cardiopathy; chronic pneumonopathy; chronic breathing diseases; lung hypertension; lung congestion; therapeutics.
