Pulmonary hypertension can occur in 7% of diazoxide-treated HH patients. Risk factors include the presence of congenital heart disease and fluid overload. Recommendations include echocardiography and fluid restriction to 130 mL/kg/d prior to diazoxide treatment and immediate discontinuation of diazoxide if PH develops.
