Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Oral anticoagulation improves survival in IPAH and is recommended in all these patients unless there is a contraindication to anticoagulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The most important noninvasive test for IPAH is the lung scan, which helps to rule out the pos-sibility of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (a mimic of IPAH).
