Predisposing factors for the development of a pre‐capillary component in pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease remain elusive. We report the case of a patient with persistent combined post‐capillary and pre‐capillary pulmonary hypertension after cardiac transplantation, in whom a rare BMPR2 variant was found.
