Abstract
Since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, few cases of COVID-19 pneumonia in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension have been reported. We present four patients with known history of PAH admitted to our hospital with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia to analyze the impact of this disease on their clinical outcome.
