Inclusion Criteria

Diagnosis of CDH and pulmonary hypertension defined as 2 of the following 4 criteria:

I. Systolic PAP> 2/3 systemic systolic pressure estimated by echocardiography

Exclusion Criteria

Severe chromosomal anomaly, like trisomy 18 or trisomy 13, which may imply a decision to stop or not to start life-saving medical treatment Severe cardiac anomaly, expected to need corrective surgery in the first 60 days of life (such as transposition of the great arteries, truncus arteriosus, coarctation aortae or double outlet right ventricle)

Renal anomalies associated with oligohydramnios Severe orthopaedic and skeletal deformities, which are likely to influence thoracic, and / or lung development (such as chest wall deformities and spine anomalies)
