Abstract: A result of Gersten states that if $G$ is a hyperbolic group with integral cohomological dimension $mathsf{cd}_{mathbbZ}(G)=2$ then every finitely presented subgroup is hyperbolic. We generalize this result for the rational case $mathsf{cd}_{mathbbQ}(G)=2$. In particular, our result applies to the class of torsion-free hyperbolic groups $G$ with $mathsf{cd}_{mathbbZ}(G)=3$ and $mathsf{cd}_{mathbbQ}(G)=2$ discovered by Bestvina and Mess.
