The authors describe a case of primary pulmonary hypertension from the onset of subjective complaints to terminal dextrolateral cardiac failure. They give an account of an unsuccessful attempt to influence the haemodynamics in this female patient by calcium channel blockers. In the discussion they deal briefly with contemporary knowledge and treatment of primary pulmonary hypertension.
