General measures and special conditions were addressed by the ninth task force at the 7 ^thWorld Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension. It focused primarily on the patient perspective, general and supportive measures, and challenging patient conditions. Regarding the latter, particular attention was paid to perioperative care, management during pregnancy, medication adherence, palliative care, and the sinfluence of climate on the disease. Furthermore, this paper addresses several additional topics that fall within this context but were not addressed at the World Symposium, such as nutrition in pulmonary hypertension, travel, and the use of cardiovascular drugs.
