Treatment in the ICU should be based on the underlying pathophysiology, but ultimately needs to focus on the basic goals of lowering RV after load and augmenting RV preload and contractility, early recognition of patients at particular risk and timely establish of efficient therapeutic action like EMCO, LVAD may prevent the development of severe cardiac dysfunction, low cardiac output and death.  Despite recent advance management of PH pulmonary crisis is a lethal disease.
